We meet monthly, and we have sponsored several programs at Seattle Insight. We have collaborated with Tim Geil, one of our Guiding Teachers, or an Assistant Teacher for an annual climate crisis-related Dharma talk each April, the month during which Earth Day is celebrated (talks linked below). We have an online bulletin board with our mission, goals, and meeting notes, as well as a variety of resources to deepen understanding of the climate crisis and how to take meaningful action. We offer “Practices for a livable planet” as one way to engage with the climate crisis as Buddhist practitioners, and our Climate Buddies program (details below) connects people in the sangha for mutual support.
Signing up to be on our email list provides access to our bulletin board and monthly invitations to attend our meetings. If you are interested in getting on our email list, please email Ken Yasuhara. If you have questions and would like more information, please contact Iris Antman.
