This month facilitated by Claire Debenham and Jan Cook
Living simply, healing ourselves and connecting deeply with others, we can build more resilient communities for our times and take good care of Mother Earth. What helps us go in this direction? Building caring communities that enjoy the simple things of life takes patience, tolerance and time.
Fortunately, skilful community builders are everywhere – you are probably one of them.
Come and enjoy a deep relaxation and an inspiring teaching. Share about your own aspirations, challenges and experiences and hear where others are on this path.
Earth Care Sangha – A Sangha For Our Times
We have to wake up together — Thich Nhat Hanh
Many of us are aware that we live in times of great peril for life on Earth but also of great promise for change. It is easy to be overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness, despair and sorrow for what is being done to the Earth. But by practising together we can make a positive difference, and strengthen our resilience and joy. In response to our individual and collective need to do something, Earth Care Sangha is offered.
In small Dharma sharing groups we can explore our feelings and speak openly in the company of others who share our concerns, safe in the knowledge that we do this without judgement or conflict. We hope that by sharing freely in this way, we can help each other find concrete ways to transform and heal, cultivate joy, and strengthen our understanding of interbeing with Mother Earth.
Grounded in the Plum Village tradition, and with close links to the Earth Care Steering Group, Earth Care Sangha is truly a sangha for these times. We invite you to join us, enjoy the practices, and help shape its future. Let’s wake up together!
