There is an increasing movement towards localization in order to counteract the destruction wreaked by globalization, yet our world is deeply and integrally immersed within a globalized reality.

Contributors expound upon the connection between local and global phenomenon within their respective fields including social ecology, climate justice, ecopsychology, indigenous rights, food justice, liberatory politics, and more.

Donate a Therapy Session to Someone in Need
Mental health services are expensive. Even those who are able to begin therapy can have a hard time finding the resources to continue treatment.
Naropa Community Counseling’s Client Access Fund allows you to donate as little as $30 to cover the cost of therapy sessions for clients who would otherwise have to drop out of therapy. So far, we’ve raised $2554 for community members committed to their mental health. Donate today!

Breeze of Simplicity: Sanity Within Chaos
Friday, October 18 – Sunday, October 20
6287 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO 80301
Believe it or not, it is possible to dwell in a state of calmness even within the most intense periods of outer, or even inner, chaos. Fortunately for ourselves, the Buddha emphasized that we do not have to believe this; we can actually experience it for ourselves. According to the Buddhist approach to meditation, the possibility of “achieving” calmness exists because calmness is a quality of our mind’s native or natural state; it doesn’t need to be added. Once we connect with this inherent calmness even a little bit, we can recall it in flashes even in the most blustery of situations. During this program, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche will share pith advice and instruction on how to access calmness as if it were in palm of the hand.
