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.

Topic: Transform Climate Distress to Collective Action: Climate Reliance Course at UC
Offered by: Gail Wright
In keeping with last month’s teaching and conversation with Kaira Jewel Lingo on finding “what is ours to do”, this month we will learn about a UC Climate Resilience course putting those key concepts into action across all 10 UC campuses.
This UC system wide course aims to transform climate distress to collective action. Using an emergent pedagogy approach, UC professors and meditation teachers co-lead the course. Together, they guide meditation practices, experiential exercises, and small group discussions, and then support the development of group climate action projects. Students develop inner resilience skills, shift perspective toward an interconnected ecological worldview, and engage in collaborative climate action. Read more in a recent UC news article.
