Ziraat: Our Interconnected Nature

with Murshid Darvesha MacDonald and Friends

We live in a time of cascading environmental catastrophes. The earth is losing its capacity to sustain life. Yet, in the midst of this crisis, we have the fortune of being in a lineage that offers us practices and teachings that support us internally while at the same time directing us toward beneficial action. Yes, there is something we can do; both internally and outwardly! The best way to predict the future is to create it.

"More than the world needs saving, it needs loving." - don Oscar Miro-Quesada

"We are part of a vast, global movement: the epochal transition from empire to Earth community." - Joanna Macy

In this three-class series, we’ll affirm our radiant inherent nature, our understanding of interdependence, and action that benefits us while benefiting others. Each class will include practices, teachings, music, conversation, and burgeoning guest teachers and dance leaders, including Arjun Jorge Calero, Daniel Hamid Kirchhov, and Shivadam Adam Burke.
