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 join Ayya Santacitta and Constance Washburn for Sensing Yourself as Earth.
We are part of the Earth. We have the capacity to reconnect and attune to the intelligence of the living systems within which we live. We will meet outside to work with interactive practices of the Work That Reconnects and Buddhist meditation, to reawaken our senses and listen deeply to ourselves, each other and the Earth.
Meeting location TBD by early June.
