Mariposa offers mindfulness and meditation teachings and practices that bring us into alignment with the ethics of Earth, Plant and Animal kin.

We offer teachings and practices that provide a path for living in deep connection with the world and within ourselves. By dissolving barriers between human and Animal, self and Nature, embodied practices of mindfulness and meditation return our consciousness into harmony with the natural world. The foundation of our work is grounded in the values of the Earth, which find resonance in the ethical tradition of Vietnamese Zen monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. These traditions offer insights to understand more-than-humans and, importantly, how humans may learn to live by Nature’s ethic of nonviolence – how, as Charlie Russell described, to fit in with Bears and other Earth beings.

We welcome all those striving to harmonize in peace and well-being for Earth. Explore our offerings and join us in the beauty and restoration of our home.
