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, June 28, 2025: 8:30 am — 10:00 am
Topic: Self-Compassion for Earth Care
with Hilary Borison
on Zoom
For those of us who care deeply about the Earth, we may feel a multitude of difficult emotions around climate change and the lack of concern from leaders — anger, grief and fear. Caring for ourselves as we struggle to care for the planet is essential for our well-being.
Please join us for a morning of self-compassion practices to support ourselves and our work in the world. Compassion turned inwards is not a selfish act. It is essential for preventing burnout. It’s what enables us to continue to do what we can to make a difference.
We will also spend some time reflecting on how to support climate actions. Where to put our efforts?
Hilary Borison has been a Mindful Self-Compassion teacher for 10 years. She is a graduate of the Eco-Chaplaincy program in 2024, and has been a practitioner at Insight Meditation Center since 2004.
