Devotion for the Earth & Engaged Surrender (AA1G25)

Registration will close at 5:00pm (US Pacific Time) prior to the fourth class on Tuesday, August 26. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available within 48 hours following each class.

Description:
With Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha as guides, this series explores re-cognizing ourselves as part of a living, intelligent Earth. By training to see ourselves differently, we can uncover a sense of devotion for the Earth that opens us to the sacred, self-regenerative capacity of the biosphere we belong to.

Modernity and its unsustainability lies at the root of our current metacrisis, urging us to cultivate new ways of looking at ourselves and thereby initiating new ways of imagining worlds worth working for. By not rushing to find answers and learning to trust the healing recalibration of the Earth’s metabolism acting through us, unexpected possibilities can emerge.

In these four sessions we will co-create a safe container that supports reverence for the Earth and a humble curiosity for what makes a good ancestor in these transitional times. Practices offered include Dharma reflections, guided meditations, chanting, sharing, and prompts for contemplation. You are invited to bring a capacity for embodied awareness in meditation and an open heart-mind, willing to see your life and the world through new eyes.

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.

Class dates are: August 5, August 12, August 19, August 26; all classes are held on Tuesdays from 6:00pm – 7:30pm US Pacific Time.
