A Day of Connection: Sustainable Practice for a Sustainable World

Today we launch the third year of Earth Care Week. All dharma practitioners who consider caring for the Earth an important part of their Dharma practice are welcome. In addition, we are inviting the extended community of Bay Area "green sanghas" to participate in the day, including Green Sangha, the Spirit Rock Green Groups, the Green Gulch Ecosattvas, IMCB Green Committee and others.

When we hold each other's hands we know that we're not alone. We draw strength from our connection and invite others to join with us. That is how meaningful change can happen. That's what makes "Refuge in Sangha" a source of inspiration and possibility.

Today we'll explore how taking action for the planet can be a rich dharma practice that brings out the best in ourselves and in others. We will practice wise balance between the inner practices that so support us and the outer actions that we need to take to sustain the planet. We'll express caring and love for the earth in ways that meaningfully addresses the issue, while having fun along the way. We hope you will join us!
