For this month’s focus on a wise response to the ecological crisis, we will expand to include broader world events including the coronavirus pandemic. We will meet via Zoom, and online meeting platform. The evening will include dharma teachings and community discussion.

One Thursday each month, we will focus on the ecological crisis. Many consider climate change to be the gravest threat in the history of humanity. Common responses to this truth are overwhelm, hopelessness, and denial. The teachings of the Buddha can guide us toward a wise, balanced, and engaged relationship with what is happening. With the intention of fostering clarity, inner balance, and a sense of community, Anna will offer meditation, dharma teachings, and discussion.

Dana - The teachings of the Buddha are a priceless gift which are offered freely. No one is ever turned away for inability to pay. We invite you to consider dana, generosity, as part of our practice together, and to give what you can to support this dharma service.
