“The consideration of where we are and what we are, on the spot, turns out to be very important. We are talking about a farming situation in some sense: how we are going to experience the land properly, the real land, the land that grows crops and the land on which animals are raised.
When we first wake up in our bedrooms, first thing in the morning, it would be so great if the first incense we smelled were either cow or horse manure or the smell of plants. We have to go back and experience how the earth works, rather than purely smelling our neighbor’s bacon cooking as soon as we wake up, and hearing taxicabs roaring and garbage trucks rumbling. We should all experience working on the land, literally and properly. That is the best way to wake ourselves up: smelling earth, actually experiencing good earth.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are a lot of problems that have come up because, since medieval times, the process of conquering the world has been based on conquering the earth
instead of touching ground, touching soil properly.”
From “Nowness,” a talk at the 1979 Збірка Калапа.
The Earth Salon is intended to bring us together to explore the greater implications of our bodhisattva vow. We hope to include guided practices, as well as guest speakers to focus on how our daily activities bind us or alienate us from the earth we share with all creatures.
How do we rouse our intention? How do we move from intention to action? How do we build resilience and appreciation? How do we create a pathway for caring activity on this earth?
Together we will investigate these questions and more while looking at food & gardening, housing & construction, travel, clothing, energy, consumption, and many other areas that will undoubtedly arise during our conversations.

The August Earth Salon
Foraging for Wild Food
with Jeff Scott
In the autumn of 2021, Jeff Scott embarked on a year-long journey into foraging for wild foods within walking distance of his home in Boulder, Колорадо. In the August Earth Salon, he will share his journey: what inspired this exploration, what connections he is making to his spiritual life, what ecological realizations are arising, what culinary discoveries, і більше.
The monthly Earth Salons are an initiative of the Торкнувшись Землі Колектив, and are curated and co-facilitated by David Wimberly and Deborah Luscomb, with occasional guest ‘experts’.
