A Half-Day of Deep Practice and Teachings Online
In our half-day retreat we will explore how meditation opens to include the ecosystems in which we are embedded. Often thought of as purely about mind or psyche, meditation is also an embodied practice that plays in resonance with the calls of Earth. Such practice might become a mere distraction or escape from ecological loss and global warming. In our retreat, we will discover an earthy practice that calls us deep into being part of our planet, instead of leaving it behind.

Join us for a course to support you in creating a grounded relationship with time.
Starting in October, we'll begin a year-long gathering to ritually celebrate the eight stations of the sun: solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days. Along the way, we'll practice into the possibilities of a sacred relationship to time within climate chaos and time-compression.

Monthly River Meditation
In-Person: First Thursday of each month, 6PM ET
Point State Park, Pittsburgh
We are developing an ongoing relationship with the Ohio River—one of the most polluted rivers in the country. Through meditation and simple ritual we are listening to what the river is asking for from us, especially as a toxic petrochemical plant opens on its shores.
Gather at the fountain at the Point where the three rivers converge. Bring a cushion or camping chair.

EcoDharma Exploration: Love This World
Loving the full catastrophe and the many wonders of this world is a phenomenal source of joy and connection. It is also a deep well of grief and despair. We cannot avoid it.
What is an ecological spirituality that attends not only to the fantasy of a lost Garden of Eden, but is able to open to the actual planet of which we are a part?

In-Person: Sunday, October 9th, 10AM
Center for Postnatural History, Pittsburgh
Mindfulness teachings often rely upon imagery of “Nature” as the basis of meditation practices. So, what happens in a post-natural world? What happens to meditation if we can no longer access a “pure Nature,” unaffected by humans? Where do we retreat that remains untouched by wildfire, climate chaos, deforestation, extinction of animal species, or the spread of plastics? Do we need new metaphors for meditation in the anthropocene?
