This spring will mark 10 years of trainings and retreats run at the Ecodharma Centre. We’ve decided it’s the perfect moment to take a step back, reflect on what we’ve learned over the decade, and review what we can most usefully contribute in response to the challenges and opportunities of this historical moment...read more in our blogpost below.

New to our program this year. Please share!

Earth in Mind will explore outer engagement and inner understanding through slowing down and settling into a rhythm and quality of presence that supports us in remembering what's important, what nourishes us, and what allows us to more freely bring ourselves to life.

Supported by periods of silent contemplation coupled with nature-based practice. We'll also be drawing on our collective wisdom through participative inquiry. Together we'll explore the broad fields of our practice, the ways we have found that nourish us and offer guidance for our lives, as well as examining some of the challenges that hinder us from embodying our potential and engaging more deeply with the historical moment we find ourselves in.

Still a few spaces left...

Join us for our silent Winter retreat at the dark of the year.

This is an invitation to sink into the quietude and stillness: to slow down, to attend to the ordinary and appreciate what is already here yet so often overlooked. The simplicity of sitting in our forest meditation space, walking on the land, silent companionship, and finding a rhythm to the day that supports being vibrantly awake and yet at ease with this life.

The retreat will balance supportive structure and guidance with an open spaciousness allowing both form and formlessness to inform our practice.

Our Permaculture, Nature Connection and Deep Ecology course explores both the practical wisdom and the theoretical underpinnings of a shift to a life-sustaining future – set within a framework of nature and dharma based learning. It draws together the practical wisdom of permaculture design, experiential nature-based practice, and the theoretical foundations of deep & radical ecology. It weaves together study, meditation, and hands on learning.
