This month facilitated by Hazel Jordan and Debs Knight
What’s the most important thing we can do for the sake of life on Earth? Thay’s reply to this question is: ‘What we most need to do is to hear within ourselves the sounds of the Earth crying.’
Please join Hazel, Debs and sangha friends for an evening of deep listening and cultivating joy together so we can be ready to meet whatever challenges there may be ahead of us with courage and open hearts.
There will be a guided meditation, a video exploring this theme with Joanna Macy, and Dharma sharing in small groups.
A Sangha For Our Times
We have to wake up together — Thich Nhat Hanh
Many 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.
In 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.
Grounded 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!
Please email earthcare@plumvillage.uk with any feedback, questions, suggestions or offers of help.
