Upcoming programs
You Are Earth
On Earth Day, when so many groups are urging us to take action, let’s take a moment to anchor ourselves in the fact that we are part of the living body of Earth. With that knowledge, our actions on behalf of Earth are not altruism that requires us to be “good”, but healthy self-interest that flows naturally from that wider sense of self. In this 90-minute online gathering, we’ll touch on some of the exciting ideas of deep ecology, honor ancient earth wisdom, experience a guided meditation, and be nourished by music and poetry that celebrates our place in the web of life.

Past programs
Climate News Support Circle
Climate change is no longer in the distant future, but is increasingly in the here and now. Scientists tell us there is little time left, at most six years to avoid the worst of catastrophic climate change, and the United States has an incoming president who believes climate change to be a hoax. What a painful and difficult time to be alive.
This Climate News Support Circle will offer a kind and compassionate space to bring our overwhelm into the caring presence of others. Together we will read and process news stories covering climate disasters, national and international politics, or scientific news of environmental unraveling, in order to nurture our collective capacity to turn towards a world in crisis and find sustainable ways we can contribute to the healing needed in these times.

Taking Heart in Tough Times
We invite you to come together to acknowledge the weariness, grief and uncertainty we may feel with living in these challenging times, and find what you need to take heart, find joy, and make a contribution. This day-long workshop based on Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects is designed to strengthen our relationship to each other and the living Earth and fuel our commitment to create a life sustaining culture.
Participants will be invited into a variety of participatory practices including pair conversations, shared rituals, guided meditation, individual reflection, songs and poetry. The day will follow the spiral path of the Work That Reconnects: beginning with grounding in gratitude, then honoring our pain for the world, seeing with new/ancient eyes, and finally, going forth.
