Upcoming programs
Finding Your Place in These Times
How do you respond to these times we are living in? How do you find what is needed within to stay wholly alive and strong? This half day workshop will explore ways to tap into your inner resources and find energy to carry on. We will
use practices from the Work That Reconnects that will include group processes, ritual, poetry, and song, including the story of the peaceful Shambhala Warrior as a call to compassionate action.

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.

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.
