This year, humanity has witnessed the alarming acceleration of climate change… the loss of forests and rivers, animal and plant species… and the potential annihilation of our species. Alongside our profound grief for what is changing globally, however, we are also experiencing Emergence.
Emergence, the organizing principle of Gaia, can help us to stay present as we navigate global change – and fuel our love and pain for our world into compassionate action. Recognizing that we are each part of emergence, we can inquire: What qualities of wonder, reverence, and respect for the mystery re-awaken in our hearts when we recognize emergence? Please join us for a heart-based exploration of eco-dharma.

Human Body – Earth Body – One Body

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of May 9, 2022
This week’s topic is Disentangle the Net of Needs. We all have needs. Existential needs, needs for safety, connection, spirituality and much more. Our attitude towards needs, what strategies we choose to meet them and what boundaries we set in place determines to a large extent our happiness and peace of mind. In this week we want to explore skilful ways to handle our needs, feelings and boundaries. We will draw from Buddhist teachings, mindful practices and elements of non-violent communication to support us in our daily lives.
