A Day of Earth Holding

A day of: Earth Holding practices, guided sitting and walking meditation, and dharma talks in the Plum Village Ecological Interbeing tradition.

As we bear witness to a world in crisis, practising compassion with ourselves can encourage a deeper connection with others, with our communities and with the more-than-human world.

We not only have the opportunity to transform ourselves and touch a deeper peace and joy, but also to bring healing back to our families, our communities and to society through the mindfulness practices of the Earth Holder Community.
