About This Event
These days are dedicated to Resilient to be, Empowered to act. The planetary crises refer to the set of interconnected global challenges – such as war, climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequality – that together pose a profound threat to life on Earth. It seems we can no longer make sense of the world with the logic we have been using for so long.
This event offers a rich program of inspiring teachings, presentations, meditations, and a shared dialogue from a Buddhist perspective. We are organizing this weekend, because we care about what is happening and we think we might have something to offer that is beneficial.
The morning consists of presentations by various experts in this field online. After lunch there will be guided meditations, group discussions and time for reflections, questions and answers.

Why Participate?
Why participate?
ď‚· Because you are touched by what is happening in the world
ď‚· To gain insights into how we can support one another in remaining calm,
resilient, and act compassionately, and how we can be a refuge – for
ourselves and for others to grow our positive influence
ď‚· To explore together if the Dharma might provide answers which are beneficial
and perhaps deepen our Dharma practice to connect it to what is happening in
the world, so we can all contribute in more effective ways
ď‚· To feel supported by a community in these times
