Yoga, Climate and Earth Activism

Limited Capacity seats available

Humanity is at a critical evolutionary juncture, what we do now affects all future generations. There is a natural and ancient precedent in the yoga tradition for earth activism. Along with other indigenous wisdom traditions, the ancient Rishi's held a deep reverence and understanding of a living and conscious Mother Earth (Bhumi Devi). Now more than ever we must awaken and act for ourselves, future generations and all of life. Both as individuals and as a community, we must become more aware of our actions and choices and how they affect the web of life. Join us as we explore this idea and action through discussion as well as meditation and chanting.

Be the Change. Now more than ever.
