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 27, 2026: 8:30 am — 10:00 am
On Zoom
Topic: Council of All Beings
Offered by: Hilary Borison
Please join us in a gathering to represent non-human beings on Earth who are no less wise than we are (perhaps more so), but who do not have an opportunity to make their voices heard. This is a powerful practice which was taught by Joanna Macy to open ourselves to connect with our more-than-human kin and not just speak for them, but allow them to speak through us.
The invitation is to come as another being — either animal, plant, or element (such as air, water or soil). Let your imagination and creativity flow. You might make a mask to come as a tiger, or bring a branch to come as a tree, or a pour water from a pitcher into a bowl to be a waterfall. Taking on this form and feeling how it is to inhabit this being at this time, we will each introduce ourselves. We will share the challenges we are facing — what is making it difficult for you to survive and thrive at the is time. Then each will share what wisdom they have to impart to human kin.
We look forward to gathering in council together to experience, in both a playful and serious way, our kinship with all beings. If you have any questions, please contact Hilary at hborison@sbcglobal.net.
