Our teachings and practices are intended to guide and support the transformation of human consciousness into harmony with the natural world, what we refer to as Nature Consciousness.

The foundation of our work is grounded in the tenets and ethics of the Earth, which are embodied in the tradition of Vietnamese Zen monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. We include science and other ways of knowing to deepen and expand our understanding. Indeed, there is significant convergence.

Zen Buddhism and neuroscience, for example, utilize a similar logic of analysis. A main difference, however, is that while neuroscience seeks to describe reality, Buddhism seeks a path for experiencing reality that is inclusive and reflective of non-human Nature. Both offer insights into how to we may live by the ethics and values of the natural world – how, as Charlie Russell called it, we can learn to fit in with Bears and other Earth beings.

We welcome all those striving to harmonize in peace and wellbeing with Earth. These teachings and practices live beyond form, beyond beliefs, beyond boundaries.
