Day-long Retreat on Earth Day with SIM Community Mentor, Rich Howard.
The Buddha touched the Earth as witness to his awakening. He encouraged meditating under trees. Our practice benefits ever-expanding circles of beings when we connect it to the Earth. In this daylong retreat on Earth Day, we will combine mindful discussion with silent practice, including outdoor awareness exercises, working with the Four Elements, and eating meditation. We will open to the grief and the joy of our current relationship with the Earth and all its inhabitants.
Bring a lunch and sun protection (hat and/or fragrance-free sunscreen). At the retreat and at the bottom of the webpage, participants will have an opportunity to offer monetary dana. All dana collected will be shared with One Earth Sangha, whose mission is “to bring the essential wisdom and practices from the Buddhist tradition to collective engagement on critical ecological crises.”
