- Dharma Offerings: Meditations, workshops, retreats, and contemplative opportunities that nurture balance and stability, compassion and community.
- Resilience Gatherings: Potlucks and opportunities to connect and share great veg/vegan meals, and to discuss issues and listen generously to others, enriching community as we go.

-
- Special Events: Winter Solstice Celebrations, Summer Picnics, and larger events during the year that are offered by sliding scale.
- Workshops and retreats: Opportunities to step away from our daily concerns, roles, and routines and look deeply at the whole sphere of being human: the beauty of the Earth and the joy of life, and at impermanence, grief, and letting go. These events are always offered on a sliding scale.
- Inclusivity Scholarship Fund: Your gift will enable youth and others who are struggling financially to attend retreats, workshops, and special events. Our scholarships enable anyone short of means for any reason to participate in our programs, because everyone matters.

- A note on our service programs: From 2008 to 2020, Living Earth volunteers responded to the urgent needs of unhoused folks across Portland, providing winter warmth and home-prepared food year-round out on the streets or for those living in tenuous circumstances. Our Brown Bags delivered thousands of healthy, home-made meals across the city to folks under bridges and in doorways. Our Winter Warming project provided more than 10,000 hand crafted warm items to folks in need. Since 2021, most of our service has been focused on providing support for the tribal community at Warm Springs Reservation. In 2025, with support from our members and donors, our service programs will evolve and grow. Questions? Contact us here.
