Climate Dharma | One Earth, One Heart: Intermittent programs based on principles of ecological interdependence, to engage communities and foster justice and kindness, to awaken awareness and responsibility for the planet, and to include and serve everyone as destabilized climate conditions change our world.
- Brown Bags and Winter Warming: Creative compassionate responses to meet the urgent needs of folks in the Portland region for food and warmth, especially in winter.
- Inclusivity Scholarships: Our programs focus on the world we all share, beautiful and broken.
