Intimacy with a Living World: Reclaiming Sacred Relationship in a Time of Profound Unraveling (TH1D26)

Registration closes at 9:00am (Pacific Time) on October 25, 2026. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.

Description:
We’re living through a profound unraveling—climate breakdown, ecocide, genocide, rising authoritarianism, and the accelerating destruction of our living world. How might Dharma help us meet this time without turning away, collapsing into despair, or retreating into a spirituality that bypasses?

In this day, we’ll explore a Dharma of radical intimacy: reclaiming our place as participatory beings within the sacred web of life. Drawing on the teachings of emptiness from which great compassion arises, presenced by Kuan Yin, we’ll explore how the dissolution of separateness transforms entanglement into inter-being, and what that might look like.

Through meditation, prayer, and ceremony, we’ll consider resistance itself as sacred practice: not merely opposition, but the protection of what we love. Together we will listen beneath the noise of these times for an older knowing—an ensouled world in which Earth is not resource, beings are not objects, and where our lives belong to one another.
