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: Wise Speech and Deep Listening in Conversations About Ecological and Political Concerns
Saturday, September 28, 2024: 8:30 am — 10:00 am
Facilitated by Elaine Salinger, Jan Messer and Barry Rothmam
Topic: Wise Speech and Deep Listening in Conversations About Ecological and Political Concerns
The upcoming election and the discouraging daily news about environmental degradation can be exhausting and triggering for many. Being in community, engaging in conscious communication, and taking wise action can provide a refuge of peace. Please join us in a group exploration about the use of dharma practice and wise communication when in conversations about climate change, politics and the election. As we know, many dialogues on such topics tend to devolve into advice-giving, venting, lecturing or worse. Let’s share our thoughts and creative ideas, and inspire each other about how to use speech that is truthful, harmonious and connecting when in dialogue about these challenging topics. We welcome all who attend this meeting to contribute to the conversation.
