Message from Barry Kerzin

Mother earth is crying out for help. Our children’s wellbeing, and even survival, are at stake. What contemplative meditation practices can we do to help prepare us? How can we integrate our meditative way of living with concern for the environment? What is the role of compassion in facing and doing something about climate crisis? Join us for a meaningful meditation filled with compassion towards mother earth.

– Barry Kerzin
