Mindfulness practices for environmental sustainability
The following discussion revolves around the transformative power of mindfulness in nature.
Paul Flippin reflects on two articles from the Order of Interbeing website, emphasizing the connection between the act of sitting restfully and the imperative to heal our planet.
Drawing inspiration from authors Dylan Tweney and John Bell, Flippin suggests that the simple act of sitting and resting in nature can be revolutionary, leading to a deeper connection with the Earth and a renewed commitment to environmental stewardship.
He highlights the impact of quiet meditation in inspiring individuals to become agents of change.
Moreover, Flippin encourages the sangha to reflect on their experiences with mindfulness in nature and its influence on their commitment to environmental activism.
By invoking teachings from Thích Nhất Hạnh, Flippin underscores the importance of developing a deep relationship with the Earth and cultivating mindfulness as a means of healing ourselves and our society.
