January 11, 2026
Registration closes at 8:00am (Pacific Time) on January 11, 2026. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.
Description:
What does it mean to enter a new year in times of uncertainty, ecological stress, and social upheaval? This half-day is for environmental and social activists, earth- and community-tenders, and others who seek to disrupt systems of oppression and violence, and to strengthen those of justice and regeneration. Through guided meditation, creative artistic exploration, and heartful dialogue, we’ll pause to remember our belonging to the Earth and to one another. Together, we’ll cultivate practices and rituals that fortify our capacity for service, imagination, and well-being so we can meet the year ahead with support, groundedness, and joy.
