We invite you to join us on November 16 for a 4-hour in person retreat facilitated by Annie and Patricia and supported by DeeDee, Gerry, and Rachel.

If you are feeling unsettled with all that is happening in the world, and are looking for a space to come together, please join us! Following the U.S. election and the midst of upending wars, racial injustice, and environmental degradation around the world, we will practice to ground ourselves in the present moment, reflect on interbeing and impermanence, transform our fear and anxiety into compassion and resilience, and generate ease and calm during what may be challenging times.

Get Out The Vote Postcard Writing

Dear Friends,

The Chesapeake Earth Holder Community and the Engaged Mindfulness Group of the Opening Heart Mindfulness Community invite you to join us in our second Get Out the Vote postcard-writing event.  

Once again, we are collaborating with  Environmental Voter Project , a non-partisan group that provides postcards and messaging for individuals who identify as concerned about the environment but do not always vote. This is a true practice that has the power to increase voter turnout among the environmentally aware and can tip the balance in favor of Mother Earth.
