In-Person at Dandelion Acres and virtually on Zoom
Please join us in an unique retreat on the abundantly verdant grounds of Dandelion Acres in Northern Minnesota. Our theme will focus on our spiritual responsibilities to our Mother Earth . We recognize that no one shall be free until all are free, including the planet we call home.
…the Diamond Sutra is a seed planted by the Buddha that is now beginning to blossom. The Diamond Sutra is the most ancient text on deep ecology. It is the basic Buddhist teaching on the art of protecting ourselves and protecting the environment.
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Diamond that Cuts through Illusion
Retreatants will explore along with Brenda Balmer, Member of the Order of Interbeing, and Brad Wiscons, Dharma Teacher, the spiritual awakening of finding true peace as we engage in practical eco-dharma practices. Those participating in person will connect to nature on the grounds of Dandelion Acres- simply, purely, and quietly.

I knew it with a certainty as warm and clear as the September sunshine. The land loves us back. She loves us with beans and tomatoes, with roasting ears and blackberries and birdsongs. By a shower of gifts and a heavy rain of lessons. She provides for us and teaches us to provide for ourselves. Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
