Turtles EcoDharma Group

New members welcome!

The EcoDharma group, known as the Turtles, convenes on the FIRST & THIRD Thursday of the month at 7pm MST following teisho.

Meetings take place both in person at Mountain Cloud and online via:

sit.mountaincloud.org
Passcode: mountain22

During these gatherings, we’ll delve into the question: “How can we, as Zen practitioners, respond to the current ecological crises with open hearts?” Our discussion will include analysis of recent environmental events, relevant media, and our personal reflections on these issues.

Since 2023, members of Mountain Cloud have been engaging in deep dialogue and learning about key environmental and ecological issues and how we respond. We gather as sangha to support each other in our commitment to the healing of the world and welfare of all beings. We learn from and inspire one another through reading, discussion, and sharing our personal interests and actions. As we acknowledge and become more aware of the magnitude of our planetary crisis, we aspire to transform climate grief and confusion into energy and direction for wise, compassionate action.

As one Turtle member put it: “I am coming to see that this work is about facing the unknown. My feelings of powerlessness and guilt are changing as I see, honor, and am inspired by other’s actions. I realize that they are like seeds germinating in my life.”

All Mountain Cloud members are most welcome to join.  For more information or to join the email list, email Abby Shepard: abby@mountaincloud.org.
