EARTHOLDER SANGHA PRACTICE
Embodying Racial and Ecological Justice in the Face of the Climate Emergency https://academy.earthholder.org/
“Just like the first offering, we’ll explore the interconnection, the intersectionality, the interbeingness of ecological-social-racial justice. We will nourish ourselves with Earth-based mindfulness practice, connect with the beauty and safety of the present moment, and gain fresh insight on how to be and do at this time of profound societal and climate disruption.”
