The Bodhisattva/Ecosattva Path Today An in-person workshop with David Loy

The ecological crisis is as much a spiritual challenge as a technological and political one. Thich Nhat Hanh has said that “we need a collective enlightenment,” but what might that mean? Does our situation today imply that we need to understand the bodhisattva/ecosattva path in a fresh way? Do we need new forms of Buddhist practices, and different types of sanghas in facing the ecological crisis and in addressing other, related forms of structural oppression?

Together we will explore how to take action individually and collectively by asking three questions: what do I have to offer, what actions can I take, what tugs at my heart?

The event is open to all, but early booking is recommended as numbers are restricted.
