Mountain Stream’s Eco Dharma Council invites you to ECO DHARMA WEEK
Human Body - Earth Body - One Body with Ayya Santacitta and Constance Washburn
See below for schedule of events.

Tonight we are honored to host Ayya Santacitta to open the week’s theme “Human Body - Earth Body - One Body.“ The Earth speaks to us through our bodies which are part of the Earth’s body. At this time of great unraveling we need to listen deeply to the wisdom of the Earth with all our senses. Based on this willingness to view our lives and world from a different perspective, we can experience ourselves as Earth and thereby become response-able from the ground up.

Join us in person:
Ayya Santacitta will be teaching in-person in the Meditation Hall
