Last Saturday of the month: 8:30 AM
on Zoom
All are welcome
The Earth Care group was formed to apply Buddhist teachings to care for our planet in a thoughtful and meaningful way. The group provides an opportunity to apply elements of the Eightfold Path — particularly Right Intention and Right Action — and to use Right Speech in the group engagements. The group meets every month on the last Saturday at 8:30 AM Pacific time. The meetings largely focus on a set of diverse topics relating to the right actions we can take to mitigate climate change. The actions can be related to lifestyle choices, civic engagements, community services or whatever is motivating the participants to contribute and share in the discussions. The group will also serve as a container to deepen our connection to the earth through guided meditations, and discussions. Typically meetings will have a speaker who will be educating and contributing to topics on climate change and meaningful actions we can take.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Earth Care Meeting
Saturday, January 25, 2025: 8:30 am — 10:00 am
Topic: COP 29 outcomes and What’s next for us!
Presented by: Ram Appalaraju
On 11/24/2024 the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 29) closed after two weeks of intense discussions on issues relating to climate change and how it has been disproportionately affecting poorer countries. At the end of the meeting participating countries agreed to a set of outcomes. One of the headlines that describes the outcome is “COP29 UN Climate Conference Agrees to Triple Finance to Developing Countries, Protecting Lives and Livelihoods”.
We will discuss the outcomes and also the UN Emissions Gap Report that was presented in November 2024. We will also discuss opportunities for the Earth Care group to engage in a meaningful way in the context of the global political environment for 2025.
If you have any questions about the Earth Care group at IMC, please contact us at EarthCare.Dharma@gmail.com
