EARTH HOLDER SANGHA NOW MEETING BI-MONTHLY ON ZOOM.
International Online Dharma Talk and Sharing
A Mindful Earth Justice Initiative in the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism.
On the Second and Fourth Sunday of every month, a different teacher from the Earth Holders leads a short meditation, thoughtful dharma talk and heart-felt sharing pertinent to current happenings. These Zoom groups are made up of deeply caring, multi-national practitioners supporting each other in right-thought and right-action and focused on caring for our earth and all its inhabitants.
As an example, recent dharma teacher, Jo-Ann Rosen touched on the theme of Mindfulness: refuge or escape. Activism: purpose or vehicle. She is a retired psychotherapist who is now a self-described resiliency trainer ‘balancing chutzpah and humility.’ I found her teachings to be illuminating and nourishing – and made for these frustrating times of change and challenge.
Teachers are intentionally chosen to reflect diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Find the Zoom link or check out past dharma talks on the website: Online Earth Holder Sangha.
If you would like more information or to join the Earth Holder Community, you can reach me at 828-335-1775.
