Socially Engaged Spirituality

“It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community- a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the Earth." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Spiritual Ecovillages

The Ecovillage movement has some very interesting stories to tell from their many years of experimenting with living a new worldview and following many spiritual paths. They never had any problems with different spiritual systems existing side by side. Diversity is seen as an inspiration. Here you can see a few living examples.
