As was discussed in the first panel, What is Buddhist Eco-Chaplaincy: Responding to Eco-Crisis from the Cushion to the Earth, Buddhist Eco-chaplaincy is an emerging field of spiritual care in the United States that offers a compassionate response to suffering, often engaging in Earth-based ritual as a way of grounding from within, and being resourced through our Interbeing.

In this second panel, The Dharma of Upheaval: What Does Buddhist Eco-Chaplaincy Look Like in the World?, we will hear from several Buddhist Eco-Chaplaincy practitioners whose work in the world includes prison chaplaincy, ecological disaster response, organizational training, dharma teaching, climate activism, community building, individual therapy, and academic teaching and scholarship. We will hear about the variety of modalities their work manifests, and the range of arenas in which Buddhist eco-chaplains respond to suffering in their communities and in the world.

This is the second in a four-part online series created in collaboration with The Brooklyn Zen Center. In this panel we explore Buddhist eco-chaplaincy with panelists offering different perspectives on ecological grief, spiritual care, and real-world application. Across four sessions, participants will gain insight into its foundations, intersectional relevance, and interfaith possibilities while experiencing the compassionate outlook this emerging field offers.
