About This Course​

Amidst climate collapse, injustice, and political upheaval, how do we stay rooted in presence while envisioning emergent narratives?

​This mini-retreat with Andrés, Thanissara, Sumedha, and guest teachers explores what refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha may mean in our times, while engaging practices and strategies for long-haul transformation, grounded in the spirit of Bodhicitta and reparative justice.

​​We’ll pause, reflect on where we are now, and practice together. We’ll also share updates from the Rhizome Fellowship’s narrative-shifting work for systems change — an initiative SMS has joined alongside 20 internationally based, multidisciplinary organizations stewarding regenerative futures.

​Our time together will connect with the Liberation Spirituality series we shared in June, and is open to everyone, whether or not you were able to participate in the June series.

​Facilitators

​​This series will be held by Thanissara, Sumedha, Andrés González, and guest teachers.
