A Community Gathering Offered in the Aftermath of the CA Fires.
Join Deborah Eden Tull, Zen teacher and author of Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown, for a community meditation gathering and dharma teaching, The Dharma of Displacement: Finding Sacred Ground Amidst Groundlessness, on Saturday, January 25th 10 am - 11:30 am Pacific Time (1 pm - 2:30 pm Eastern Time) on Zoom. All are welcome. Please register at this link.
Eden and her husband Mark have been climate refugees since they lost their home in Hurricane Helene on September 27th. As they flew out of Los Angeles last Tuesday morning, they witnessed the horrifying clouds of smoke take over the city, from the airplane window, as the fires began. Alongside their grief for the entire region, which was once Eden’s home, they have relatives, friends, and Sangha members who have been displaced.
As climate crisis accelerates, the intention of this offering is to explore together The Dharma of Displacement and the spiritual invitation of this age of increasing collective displacement globally.
This gathering will include meditation, dharma talk, compassionate inquiry, breakout rooms, and a question and reflection session to help support people in finding sacred ground through the groundlessness of these times. Eden will explore the spiritual teaching/opportunity of this and all climate events, and will offer practices for conscious grief, resiliency, equanimity, and community-building.
Here is Eden’s most recent blog about her own experience: Ground Zero: When We Have Nothing But Our Connections to Source, Which Is Everything.

This retreat is currently full and has an active waiting list.
This retreat is held in sacred silence. This means that aside from time in group together where, in addition to silent meditation, we will be engaging in relational mindfulness and rituals from the Work That Reconnects, our experience will be in silence. Meals and all free time will honor the container of silence.
WHEN: Thursday, June 29th - Sunday, July 2nd
WHERE: In-person at Southern Dharma Retreat Center
Sunday Insight Dharma Talk & Guided Meditation offered online through Sangha Live.
