SUMMARY:Earth Care Sangha - Taking Refuge in Mother Earth
DESCRIPTION:This month facilitated by Debs Knight and Silvana Mateo\nWe need to learn how to take refuge in Mother Earth – it is the best way to heal and to\nnourish ourselves. \n— Thich Nhat Hanh\, Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet \n\nWhen times are troubling\, we need more than ever to have safe places of refuge. \nWe will listen to a video clip of our teacher\, Thich Nhat Hanh\, who shows us how to surrender and take refuge in Mother Earth. As Thay says\, it’s not hard: ‘We don’t have to do anything at all!’ \nWe are also going to hear a short talk on listening to the Earth offered by Dharma Teacher Dr Larry Ward\, who passed on recently\, in loving tribute to him and his work. \nPlease join Debs\, Silvana and sangha friends for an evening of practice that features these two teachings as well as guided meditation and Dharma sharing in small breakout groups. Everyone is welcome. \n\nMany 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. \nIn 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. \nGrounded 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! \nPlease email earthcare@plumvillage.uk with any feedback\, questions\, suggestions or offers of help. \n\nEarth Care Resources\n\nDownloadable resources for holding your own Earth caring sangha meeting\nAdditional Earth Care Resources\n\n  \nPhoto by NASA on Unsplash \n  \n\nGuided Meditation: The Four Elements | Sister Chan Duc
