Touching the Earth

Dear Respected Family,

Please joins us along with Judy, Tim and Adam, as we gather for a practice that many of us hold very close to our hearts: the Three Earth Touchings 

 

The Three Earth Touchings invite us to lie down fully on the earth and open ourselves to something vast: our ancestors across bloodlines and spiritual lineages, all beings alive on this planet right now, and the boundless stream of life that we are each a part of.

This is a session of stillness and depth, and presence. All are welcome, whether you've touched the earth many times or never before.

 

"I am part of a stream of life... constantly moving." The Three Earth Touchings, Plum Village

Come as you are. Bring a blanket or mat if you'd like to be comfortable on the floor. 

 

We will touch the earth to nourish our love for ourselves, our spiritual ancestors and our beloved Mother Earth.

With the insight of Interbeing, we know that when we nourish ourselves we nourish each other and have real communication with the earth. Please join us as we practice the Three Earth Touchings that we use at Plum Village practice centres and sanghas in the Plum Village Tradition.

Practicing the Three Earth Touchings gives us an opportunity to deeply touch the reality of interbeing across space and time.

​

Our theme for June 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: verse 4
That is why in Emptiness
Body, Feelings, Perceptions
Mental Formations and Consciousness
Are not separate self entities.

Signlessness:
Now signlessness is introduced with emptiness. We mustn’t forget that these three Doors of Liberation inter-are. So, even when there is signlessness there is still emptiness. Signlessness doesn’t mean that there are no signs, but that we try not to be caught by their appearance.
