The climate crisis is upon us. If you have not personally experienced searing heat waves, extreme weather, or historic drought or flooding this year, you probably know someone who has. Meanwhile, stories of climate disruption are — all too slowly — gaining prominence in mainstream news outlets.

With its desperate impacts on already marginalized human communities, the rise in our planet’s temperature is one of many dramatic ecological shifts underway. We bear witness to an unintended and tragic loss in global species diversity, the web of Earthly life eons in the making. It is as if countless gems in Indra’s Net are going dark.

Is it any wonder that our human hearts shake with grief, anger, and fear? Still, even amid so much loss, endless ecological wealth and potential remains. The path of the engaged practitioner is to endeavor regardless, committed yet free from clinging. No matter the outcome, there is always good work to be done. The path of compassionate action is a journey without end.

Such a journey requires both clarity of purpose as well as companionship. In support of your intentions and necessary community, we invite you to join us in the EcoSattva Training. By turning towards our difficult reality, supported by mindfulness, wisdom, practices, and connection, we will discover the roots of our loving response. We can become steadfast, unshakable in our engaged practice.
