  4. “Many people suffer deeply and they do not know they suffer. They try to cover up the suffering by being busy. Many people get sick today because they get alienated from Mother Earth.

    The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch Mother Earth inside of the body and this practice can help heal people. So the healing of the people should go together with the healing of the Earth and this is the insight and it is possible for anyone to practice." - Thich Nhat Hanh

  8. "We have constructed a system we can't control. It imposes itself on us, and we become its slaves and victims. We have created a society in which the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, and in which we are so caught up in our own immediate problems that we cannot afford to be aware of what is going on with the rest of the human family or our planet Earth. In my mind I see a group of chickens in a cage disputing over a few seeds of grain, unaware that in a few hours they will all be killed." - Thich Nhat Hanh

  10. CW: Promo, interbeing event in Antwerp

    This Saturday, Sarah John will be hosting a day of interbeing discovery. I don't know what it's going to be (nobody does), but I do know that Sarah is an excellent facilitator.

    If you're in Antwerp on Saturday, and you're interested in relational being and the in-between, come join!

    Signup here: tally.so/r/rjG27R

    ---

    Here's the description:

    A flock of birds is not a collection of individuals. It is a living field.

    We are not self-contained. We come into being in relation. What we can perceive, feel and create depends profoundly on who we are with and how present we are to each other.

    We know this. And yet we live in a time that tells us the individual is the unit of everything. We have become very good at working alone, thinking alone, creating alone. The challenges that matter most cannot be met this way. They need a different kind of intelligence. One that lives between us, not just inside us.

    Murmurations is a day to practise that intelligence. Together we will move, speak, reflect and play - experimenting with what becomes possible when we let go of the limit of individuality and start genuinely moving together. We will work with physical practices, such as flocking and one brain. The day is informed by thinkers and doers from philosophy, mysticism and science who have explored the nature of the space between us and what potentials it holds.

    This is a laboratory. What emerges will be shaped by where we are willing to go together.

    Makers, teachers, thinkers, creators, doers & dreamers all welcome.
    No previous experience needed. Just curiosity.

    Saturday 20 June · 10:00–18:00 · De Veerman: Marialei 25, Berchem, Antwerp

    PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN: €60 / €70 / €90

Brian Swimme/Thomas Berry: "Our individual self finds its most complete realization within our family self, our community self, our species self, our earthly self, & eventually our universe self...Nothing is itself without everything else." #newcosmology #interbeing #DeepEcology bit.ly/4ghrnjn

  13. I have just read Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.
    I am beginning to wake up to poetry. I am in awe at the creativity of humanity.
    The poem addresses my/our need to reconnect and recognise again the relationality of all things human and more than human.
    I will be reading more poetry, I have been reading Emily Dickinson and feel her simplicity.

    Poetry seems to go beyond the deep emotions it can invoke and due to my ignorance beyond my ability to express those feelings, so that's fine I was touched and am grateful. I am also too lazy to memorise any

  17. Is the world facing a looming food crisis?

    Yes, and the situation is quite serious — and in some parts of the world, a crisis is not looming but already here. Here’s a comprehensive picture:

    ## The Current State

    An estimated 318 million people currently face acute hunger — double pre-pandemic levels — with 41 million at emergency levels or worse. Two famines have been confirmed simultaneously in Gaza and parts of Sudan, marking the first time this century that famine has struck two countries at once.

    Beyond outright hunger, 2.3 billion people are experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity, and over 2.6 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.

    The WFP 2026 Global Outlook reports a 20% increase in the number of people facing acute food insecurity since 2020.

    ## The Major Drivers

    **Conflict** is the single biggest factor. In 2024, conflict was the leading driver of acute food insecurity, affecting nearly 140 million people, followed by climate extremes affecting 96 million, and economic shocks affecting nearly 60 million.

    The FAO and WFP have identified six countries at the highest risk of famine or catastrophic hunger: Sudan, Palestine, South Sudan, Mali, Haiti, and Yemen. Countries of very high concern also include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, and Afghanistan.

    **Climate change** is now a structural problem, not an occasional one. The Global Hunger Index highlights that climate change is now a constant rather than episodic threat.

    **Fertilizer supply** is an emerging and acute crisis in 2026. Governments are rushing to secure supplies of critical crop nutrients ahead of spring planting, as the Middle East war chokes off the flow of commodities. The most significant catalyst has been the near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — with roughly one-third of global seaborne urea and 20% of ammonia trade passing through this chokepoint, the halt in shipping from major producers like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman has effectively stranded millions of tons of production.

    China has also effectively built a wall of export restrictions on urea and phosphates to ensure domestic food security, with the move removing nearly 40% of global phosphate trade from the international market — signaling a shift where nations no longer view fertilizers as global commodities but as strategic national assets.

    ## A Paradox at the Heart of It

    Even though today’s global food production is enough to feed everyone on the planet, hunger continues to increase in some parts of the world. This is a crucial point — the food crisis is fundamentally one of **distribution, politics, and economics**, not purely of production capacity.

    ## Some Cautious Good News

    An estimated 673 million people experienced hunger in 2024, which represents a decrease of 15 million from 2023 and 22 million from 2022, with notable improvements in southern Asia and Latin America. However, progress has been deeply uneven, and hunger is still rising across Africa and Western Asia.

    ## The Holmgren Connection

    This situation connects directly to what Holmgren warns about — industrial agriculture’s deep dependence on fossil fuels (fertilizers are made from natural gas), global supply chains, and geopolitical stability. The fertilizer crisis unfolding right now is almost a textbook illustration of his energy descent thesis: when geopolitical stress disrupts energy flows, food systems become immediately vulnerable in ways that locally-rooted, lower-input agriculture would not be.

It’s hard for people who love, delight and revel in the fixed views and places of absolute certainty, to see interdependence.” michaelstoneteaching.com/remai

  23. #Buddhism's relationship with #vegetarianism reflects diverse #ethical interpretations across traditions. While early texts permitted meat under specific conditions, #Mahāyāna #sūtras strongly advocate plant-based diets as expressions of #compassion and the #Bodhisattva ideal. Contemporary movements increasingly link dietary #ethics to #environmental concerns and #interbeing, demonstrating Buddhism's adaptive response to modern challenges.

  29. "The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy" • Joanna Macy

    https://oneearthsangha.org/articles/the-shambala-warrior-prophecy/

    > «There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. In that time great powers have arisen. Barbarian powers as they’re called. And although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common. And among the things they have in common are weapons of unfathomable, destructive power and technologies that lay waste to the world. It is just at this point, when the future of all beings hangs by the frailest of threads, that the kingdom of Shambhala emerges.

    > Now, you can’t go there, because it’s not a place. It exists in the hearts and minds of the Shambhala warriors. And you can’t tell whether someone is a Shambhala warrior just by looking at them because they wear no uniform or insignia. They have no banners to show which side they’re on, no barricades on which to climb to threaten the enemy or behind which they can rest and regroup. The Shambhala warriors don’t have any home turf. There is only the terrain of the barbarian powers for them to move on, regroup, and use.»

  32. "Today, especially in Western societies, we are in the midst of a major turning point where the very notion of “humanity” is being reexamined. As AI vastly surpasses #human logos—language and intellect—we will inevitably be challenged to cultivate our own capacity to recognize our own perspectives as human beings.
    Through the mirror of #ai we are once again confronted with the question of what it means to be human." (Shoukei Matsumoto)
