Over 100 people applied for 50 spots in our first 2-day NYC training in Dharma & Nonviolent Direct Action.

After this incredible weekend focusing on collective liberation, we left wishing we could have spent more time with this outstanding group of people!

“There comes a moment in every struggle when the power of everyday people needs to be felt…

That moment, if approached with creativity and vision, can be a transformative moment for the community and for the struggle itself.”

The Ruckus Society,
“Why Direct Action”

“The insurmountable oppression, discrimination, and hatred directed at dark people comprise a thick workbook for Buddha’s teachings… 

Every moment the depth of my practice as a black woman in the Dharma is one that requires deep-sea diving and unbroken awareness.”
