Opening Invocation and Meditation led by Naropa University’s Eco-Chaplain, Master of Divinity candidate Natalie Schreiber.
Closing Dedication by David Loy, Zen teacher and author of Ecodharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis.
Please bring your own cushion, chair or ground pad and layers for weather, and a natural offering for the circle if you would like (seeds, leaves, rocks, etc).
Meditation is a grounding practice that supports us in feeling deeply, seeing clearly and taking action with wisdom and compassion. We come together to share in our love for the earth and connect with the interdependency of all life during this time of profound ecological change and sacred season for climate justice.
Before and after the meditation, many of us will also join in the 11th Hour Calling and Earth Day Protest for Climate Action.
