Meditation action at Barclays
  • Concerned about the environment and interested in mindfulness practice?
  • A climate activist looking for ways of staying resourced?

We are a Buddhist subgroup of Extinction Rebellion. We come together from many different traditions to respond to the climate and ecological emergencies.

We follow the principles and values of Extinction Rebellion.

Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse.
