Mindfulness Hub - Earth Protectors' Deep Ecology Intensive

Thanks to a generous donation we are now able to offer this event at £10 per person rather than £30, as previously announced.

Introducing profound teachings from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh on interdependence and a non-dualistic approach to protecting our Earth, we will explore mindfulness practices which actively respond to the global challenges of climate change and environmental destruction. We will learn to fall back in love with Mother Earth, seeing that we are the Earth and the Earth is us.

In this immersive evening we will experience:

* Personal mindfulness practices to restore and refresh our inner ecology

* Tools to transform our anger, fear and despair into peace, courage and action

* Mindful speech and deep listening practices to find ways out of difficult situations and establish true communication

* Teachings on a Global Ethic to guide grass-roots action and build communities of resistance

This event is part of the Mindfulness Hub and is organised by Heart of London Sangha and Wake Up London

This session will be led by three Plum Village monastic Dharma Teachers: Sister True Dedication, Brother Phap Lai and Brother Phap Linh.

Sister Dedication has worked closely with Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong in their engagement with the UN, representing the Buddhist contribution at COP21. She also co-edited Thich Nhat Hanh's book, Love Letter to the Earth.

Brother Phap Lai worked in the Environmental Protection Agency before becoming a monk and is a passionate advocate for a plant based diet to cultivate our compassion and reduce our carbon footprint. Before coming to London Brother Phap Lai will be leading a retreat for Earth Protectors at a fracking protest site in Yorkshire.

Brother Phap Linh, also known as Brother Spirit, is a musician and composer who has found that mindfulness practice can be a door to deep communion and healing with Mother Earth.
