Here’s a recording of our recent event, a conversation on activism between Joe and Katja, two experienced XR Buddhists. (The event was well attended, but an issue with Zoom meant not many people were shown on gallery mode.)
Joe Mishan delivers a talk inspired by XRs Heading for Extinction talk, asking ‘How can we skilfully respond to the climate crisis?’
Katja and Kaspa – the current co-coordinators of XR Buddhists UK – had a conversation about Buddhism and non-violent direct action at the recent Tri-ratna Earth Sangha conference. Here it is:
Kaspa and Katja, co-coordinators of XR Buddhists UK talk to David R Loy from the Ecodharma retreat centre about the history of XR Buddhists, climate justice, what next for XR Buddhists and activism and Buddhist practice.
In the summer Kaspa gave this talk at Buddhafield Festival, telling the story of his arrest with XR Buddhists, about intuitive compassion and finding our own response to the climate crisis.
Kaspa Thompson is one of the current co-coordinators of XR Buddhists UK, he is a Buddhist Teacher at Bright Earth Buddhist Temple in Malvern, and a psychotherapist.
Kaspa and Katja from XR Buddhists UK speaking to David Loy from Ecodharma retreat centre about XR Buddhism and climate activism.
