Dharma for the Sake of Life on Earth
With Joanna Macy Ph.D.
September 13 - 18, 2012
Tara Mandala, Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
In this five day retreat, Joanna will give teachings and practices from her Work That Reconnects. This pioneering group work, used world-wide to sustain activism for global justice, is directly inspired by the Buddha’s central doctrine of dependent co-arising. Drawing on the Buddha Dharma and its corollaries in living systems theory, this work opens us to our inter-existence with all life and our mutual belonging in the sacred living body of Earth. Interweaving silence and sound, interactive exercises and contemplation of wild natural beauty, this retreat aims to deepen our wellsprings of courage and creativity in service to the healing of our world.
