FREE events will be offered October 25 – November 2, 2021, to further individual, community, and planetary health and well-being, and creative excellence to serve the greater good.  

The 2021 Summit focuses on a contemplative approach to climate change and skills to cultivate healthy relationships among humans and earth systems through wise, compassionate, competent action. The intention of the Summit is to deepen awareness of the interconnectedness of all life and to cultivate skillful stewardship of our personal and planetary health. Through interdisciplinary exploration of contemplative traditions and the science of climate change, participants will develop greater knowledge and skills for individual and collective sustainability action plans, practices, and policies.
