Ekodo Retreat
Golden Bay, July 2013
A four day retreat to explore compassionate environmental action from a Zen perspective. Meditation, Dharma talks and workshops focusing on the following themes:
– Acting from a place of stillness.
– Turning our heart-minds into agents of change.
– Healing ourselves through healing the world.
Ekodo (eko – ecological; dō – way) approaches environmental and social action as sacred practice. Harnessing the power of compassion, we bear witness to ecological and human suffering, and act decisively to alleviate it. Ekodo links with the original intention of the Zen martial arts as the skillful minimisation of harm based on the realisation that the whole world is our truest self. Therefore defending ecosystems and social communities is ultimately self-defence.
