Earth Care Group

Earth Care Group

Last Saturday of the month: 8:30 AM
on Zoom
All are welcome

The Earth Care group was formed to apply Buddhist teachings to care for our planet in a thoughtful and meaningful way. The group provides an opportunity to apply elements of the Eightfold Path — particularly Right Intention and Right Action — and to use Right Speech in the group engagements. The group meets every month on the last Saturday at 8:30 AM Pacific time. The meetings largely focus on a set of diverse topics relating to the right actions we can take to mitigate climate change. The actions can be related to lifestyle choices, civic engagements, community services or whatever is motivating the participants to contribute and share in the discussions. The group will also serve as a container to deepen our connection to the earth through guided meditations, and discussions. Typically meetings will have a speaker who will be educating and contributing to topics on climate change and meaningful actions we can take.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Earth Care Meeting

Saturday, August 30, 2025: 8:30 am — 10:00 am
Topic:
Applying Buddhist teachings of Equanimity on Current Climate Change Status
Facilitated by: Ram Appalaraju
on Zoom

If you are one of the vast majority of us who is concerned about climate change and its impact on all beings, you’d agree we are living in very turbulent times.  Our collective hearts and minds are at times overwhelmed and yet we are engaging in various causes to meaningfully contribute to the situation. The Earth Care meeting on August 30 will focus on applying the Buddhist teachings on Equanimity and finding a way to stay grounded and clear-minded while still engaging in compassionate and effective action.

There will be time for moderated discussion and sharing on applying Equanimity in our practice and engaging in climate action. Please see this link for the agenda as well as discussion topics.
