SUMMARY:In-Person: Embracing Climate Crisis as a Spiritual Path Yearlong Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Embracing Climate Crisis as a Spiritual Path Yearlong Course\n \nwith Jon Aaron and Lin Wang Gordon\n \nOne Sunday a month\, February 27th\, 2022 – December\, 2022\n \nThis is an in-person course\, with the intention to build community and connections. The community’s health and safety\, however\, is also our priority. At this time\, the hope is to hold the first two classes indoors (at Integral Yoga Institute in the West Village) with the protocols listed below. Beginning in April\, classes will be held outdoors in various parks and natural environments throughout NYC.\n \n“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal\, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth\, the earth heals us.” \n― Robin Wall Kimmerer\, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants \nAs the climate crisis intensifies\, society and life on Earth are changing in ways we have never imagined before. Life as we’ve come to know it\, is in the midst of massive change and upheaval as a result of many interrelated causes. How do we hold this? How do we face our anxiety\, fear\, anger\, grief\, guilt\, and overwhelm with compassion and wisdom\, and cultivate a sense of resilience? What are our individual and collective responses to respond to the climate crisis? Where do we fit into what Joanna Macy has called The Great Turning? How do we cultivate a sense of agency and empowerment? \nOver the months of this course we will discover how our embodied Buddhist practice can help us face difficult emotions with compassion and how that impacts our response to the crisis. We will explore healing and cultivating compassion\, wisdom\, resilience\, equanimity through our practices. Embracing the climate crisis is as much a spiritual\, sacred path as healing from our personal crisis. We will explore diverse voices who have been working on the responses – diversity that includes gender\, race\, and age – to provide a wide range of perspectives. We will also explore nature-based practices – integrating wisdom from our natural environment into our practices and understanding. \nThe course will include four daylong-retreats\, six half-day retreats\, ongoing small groups and regular readings. This is a hybrid course both online and in-person\, with the intention to build and nurture community throughout the course. Each participant will be expected to take on some project related to this work – including meditating outdoors throughout the year\, and a local volunteering project of choice related to the environment. Core reading will include: \nA Time to Stand Up by Thanissara;\nActive Hope by Joanna Macy;\nAll We Can Save by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine Wilkinson\nAnd other additional resources \nNYI’s Covid Protocol for In-Person Indoors Programs:\nAll participants must be fully vaccinated and have received a Booster shot – Proof of vaccination and booster is required.\nAll participants must register in advance before attending the program.\nAll participants must wear masks at all times.\nDisclaimer:\nProcedures adhere to current CDC\, NY State\, NYC\, and Integral Yoga Institute guidelines.\nChanges may be applied at any time\, based on these third-party guidelines. \nFor the health and safety of our staff\, teachers\, and community\, please do not come onsite if you are feeling unwell. \nCourse Meetings:\nSunday\, February 27th\, 2022 – (Integral Yoga Institute) full day\, 10am-5pm\nSunday\, March 20th\, 2022 – half day\, 1-5pm\nSunday\, April 24th\, 2022 – TBD – (Outdoor) full day\, 10am – 5pm\nSunday\, May 15th\, 2022 – (Outdoor – TBD) half day\, 1-5pm\nSunday\, June 19th\, 2022- (Outdoor – TBD) half day\, 1-5pm\nSunday\, August 21st\, 2022 – (Outdoor – TBD) half day\, 1-5pm\nSunday\, September 18th\, 2022 – (Outdoor – TBD) full day\, 10am – 5pm\nSunday\, October 16th\, 2022 – (Outdoor – TBD) half day\, 1-5pm\nSunday\, November 13th\, 2022 – (Outdoor – TBD) full day\, 10am – 5pm\nSunday\, December\, 2022 – Date TBD\nPlease Note the course will not meet in July 2022 \n  \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.
