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, October 25, 2025: 8:30 am — 10:00 am
On Zoom
Topic: Cultivating Hope During Challenging Times
Offered by: Ram Appalaraju
In an age marked by ecological uncertainty and social strain, hope can feel fragile — yet it remains an essential force for renewal and compassionate action. This 90-minute gathering invites participants to explore hope as a spiritual practice, grounded in mindfulness, interbeing, and the recognition of real progress in caring for our planet. Through sharing info on the state of progress on mitigating climate change, reflection, and shared dialogue, we will nurture a sense of resilient optimism — not as denial of suffering, but as a clear-eyed awareness of transformation already underway. Together, we will honor signs of healing in the Earth, our communities, and ourselves, and reaffirm our capacity to engage in meaningful ways.
