Earth Holders Climate Watch Vigils

Dear Springs Mountain Sangha,

We don’t often post to you information about the activities of other groups, but something is emerging in the Springs that we think might especially interest you. It’s an inter-sangha, and in fact, increasingly inter-faith, ongoing monthly public meditation.  Its purpose, in the words of one of the starters of this, is “to reflect on the way we, ourselves inevitably contribute to climate change and what we might do about it – or anything else that enters our minds.”

Here’s a description:

Earth Holders Climate Watch Vigil is an “ongoing public meditation to bear witness to the impact of burning fossil fuels on climate change. We seek to raise awareness to change our personal and collective behavior so we can build momentum to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner energy resources as soon as possible.”

Third Saturday of every month, 9:30 to 10 a.m.
 America the Beautiful Park, 126 Cimino Drive (at the end of Cimino Drive near the cul-de-sac).
Please bring meditation cushions or chairs. 
 Following the vigil, all are invited for conversation, planning and discussion of future events at The Coffee Warehouse on S. Tejon, near Southside Johnny’s. 
 For more information, call 970/309-3929.
And here’s an additional note about Earth Holders:

We started as members of various Buddhist groups in the Pikes Peak region. We actively welcome persons of other faiths and persons with no religious affiliation. All are encouraged to join our monthly Climate Watch Vigil.
