Amidst the smoke, fires, floods, and heat waves, we will gather to explore our inner response to global warming and ecological mutation. We will explore the 'middle way' between a guilt-driven and panicked approach that leads to burnout, and an ignorant, escapist approach that leads to bypassing.
This one-day retreat will provide unique opportunity for personal and communal inquiry into how we are holding our ecological reality. Through the power of self-reflection, open dialogue, and gentle embodiment exercises, we will support each other through the transformation from unsustainable paralysis, guilt, and overwhelm towards resilience and regenerative action.
Led by longtime scholar, compassionate Buddhist minister, dedicated environmental justice activist and accliamed Ecopsychologist, Adam Lobel, has a remarkable gift for working with individuals deeply engaged in life-changing and life-affirming endeavors.
Adam's approach is grounded in providing context from scholarly, historical, and psychological perspectives - making it accessible to all participants, regardless of their background. He creates an environment where every person's experience enriches the conversation, fostering a sense of community and shared insight.
