Exploration of Forms and Expressions

Themes

• We bring together content from the first three modules, we examine how all of these ideas tend to manifest and express in our projects for eco-social change

Inquiries

We invite you to journal for at least 10 minutes on each of these questions:

• What are you wrestling with at this point in the course regarding the space of EcoDharma? What are the myths and mistaken strategies (mentioned here or otherwise) that you’re working through?
• In this territory, what are the tensions you experience in teaching your regular Sanghas and Sanghas where you are invited to teach? How might these be integrated more deeply into your dharma leadership, teaching and otherwise?
• What happens when you broaden the vision of your own leadership beyond the teaching and even the activist forms it has today?
