Self-care, Nourishment and Becoming

In this intimate course, Dr. Larry Ward warmly helps us notice what we’re consuming through all of our senses, hearts and minds. We will surely be affected by what we choose to feed on. Choosing wisely what comes into us or moves within us is a form of self-care. Consciously or unconsciously, what we take in nourishes our being and becoming.

EcoSattva Training: At Home With The Trouble, Together

We are in the midst of dramatic change and, with it, profound loss and rising fear. No matter our degree of acceptance, this is our home, now and going forward. We cannot fix this. Our practice can support us not only in being with this trouble, but steadying our minds and opening our hearts to all that is unfolding. From this place, there is so much good and important work to be done.
Join Dr. Larry Ward and other teachers in this journey to cultivate wisdom, connection, and compassionate action.
