This coming together of Dharma and deep ecology can transform us and the way we relate to each other and to the environment. .
This workshop brings together Buddhist meditation with experiential deep
ecology processes. Mornings are spent in silence, yoga, sitting and
walking meditation. Afternoons and evenings involve experiential deep
ecology processes dissolving the separation between human and nature to
reach a new understanding and action for the world.
Deep Ecology & Engaged Buddhism exploration workshop
‘Buddha Touched the Earth’
As we care enough to take risks, we loosen the grip of ego and begin to come home to our true nature. For in the co-arising nature of things, the world itself, if we are bold enough to love it, acts through us. ~Joanna Macy

SEE NEXT SLIDE for program:
Friday 4 October : The Challenge of ChangeA remarkable story of Krishnamurti told through film and images includes interviews, dialogues, outages, teachings and more. From his childhood from 1909 to old age, this is a special documentary and a great awakening.
Friday 1 November : Travellers and MagiciansTwo parallel journeys in the kingdom of Bhutan tells of human frailities, beauty, magic, realisations and thought-provoking elements. A monk relates the tale of Tashi, a mystical fable of lust, jealousy and murder, to an impatient man who is journeying with him, an apple seller, a paper-maker and a young girl. Is the grass greener on the other side?
FILM JOURNEYS
Community inspirational movies & documentaries screen in Warburton on the first Friday evening of each month
Friday 6 September : Message From The TibetansSupplied by Warby’s dear Father Michael, who spent 30 years searching for a copy of this documentary, this extraordinary film contains rare footage of Tibetans, monks and Tibet’s foremost masters of the mid-20th Century. For the first time the Dalai Lama allowed filming of the heart of Tibetan traditions and reveals sacred understanding of Buddhism while also blowing away our western perceptions of Tantrism. Not to be missed!
A community group coming together with the aim of making Warburton a self-sufficient, resilient, generous and delicious town.
This is a group designed to connect people in the area interested in creating community food gardens around Warburton.
The idea has been inspired by towns in the UK that have done this successfully.
The essence of this idea is that the food growing around the community is available for anyone to pick and eat, whether they are part of this group or not.
