As meditators, we have been introduced to the power of ritual to help us connect with ourselves, our community, and the more than human world.

Walking through the Fire is a quarterly gathering that will be facilitated on-line but could also be offered in local centers. In these gatherings, we will incorporate ritual, contemplations, discussion, art, writing and other ways of representing what we feel and know. This will provide an opportunity for communal witnessing of our felt responses to the environmental suffering that is taking place all over the world, and especially in the lives of marginalized populations.

What we feel and experience about what is happening, whether we identify it as grief, rage, paralysis, is something to be celebrated and appreciated, because it means we love.

“When human beings lose their connection to nature, to heaven and earth, then they do not know how to nurture their environment or how to rule their world–which is saying the same thing. Human beings destroy their ecology at the same time that they destroy one another. From that perspective, healing our society goes hand in hand with healing our personal, elemental connection with the phenomenal world.” (CTR, Sacred Path of the Warrior)
