About
Living Earth offers community events, workshops, presentations, celebrations, and retreats that encourage an openhearted, contemplative approach to social action toward a just, vibrant, peaceful, and sustainable future.
Our programs encourage contemplative practices and deep reflection on the nature of our own awareness, nurturing a wide perspective on the personal, social, and global issues of our time.
Since 1998 we have convened community discussions, hosted visiting speakers, presented public forums, and facilitated workshops that foster a lively recognition of the rich opportunities and possibilities facing our world.
Our efforts are rooted in a recognition that the world begins to change when we change our ways of perceiving, understanding, and engaging in life.
- We honor the deep spiritual principles at the heart of all the world’s enduring religious and philosophical traditions: compassion, celebration, gratitude, reverence, responsibility, humility, and non-harming.
- We support the efforts of all who are defending people and places from abuse, injustice, and destruction.
- We foster connection among all who are developing new ways of living, politically, socially, and personally.
- We affirm the rights of all beings to ecological security for their long-term health and well being, to democratic participation in their communities and states, to religious and intellectual freedom, and to cultural integrity.
- We offer opportunities for creating community, increasing knowledge and understanding, deepening awareness of interconnection, and supporting social activism that furthers these values.
We welcome you to join our efforts toward creating a culture of vibrant peace—a world grounded in cooperation and compassion, deep democratic principles, and ecological integrity that supports all beings.
