Sustaining a pristine sub-alpine ecosystem

We are long-time members of several Tibetan, Insight and Zen meditation communities in Boulder who recognize that without swift and fundamental changes in our increasingly consumerist lifestyle, the ongoing planetary eco-crisis and dramatic alteration to the Earth’s climate will cause widespread suffering and death for millions of people, and to many non-human species worldwide.We are committed to the preservation of a livable planet for our descendants and fellow species by strengthening thethree pillars of Eco-Dharma1) deepening our psycho-spiritual consciousness and building resilience, 2) strengthening expression of inter-connectedness and wisdom in our communities, 3) studying the personal and institutional root causes of the ongoing eco-crisis to inspire individual and collective strategic action.

While we are preoccupied with raising funds to remodel the buildings and pay off our loan, we are also trying to educate ourselves  to be able to steward the large pristine and precious sub-alpine ecosystem at RMERC.
