Green Earth Awakening Camp is an intimate gathering at the turning of the summer season exploring community, ecology-based practice, land-based skills, green crafts, and creative ways to forge social and ecological resilience in a time of imminent ecological breakdown.
Inner work supports outer action in the world. Those following a path of inner spiritual development may forget to engage with social and ecological injustice, while activists may forget the inner work for fear of running out of time. We offer the Green Earth Awakening as an invitation, from Buddhists to all, to gather and cross-pollinate.
In these times of climate breakdown, increasing inequality, and with the abhorrent legacy of colonialism, we need a bold new conviction in compassion. The lens of Buddhism offers a view of the world that positions us as connected and integrated into the web of life. This view offers a route away from individualism, scarcity and separation, towards connection, abundance and solidarity.
We value a re-emergence of practices that unpick our sense of separation, allowing us to begin the work of opening up to a wider sense of self, an alliance with all beings, and a bold transformation of our global systems.
Green Earth Awakening is an off-grid, drug and alcohol free, temporary camping community of 500. It involves workshops, talks, group discussion, embodied practices and music. Our programme is carefully curated to support reflection and depth. We value celebration and creativity as vital aspects of being in community.
At Green Earth Awakening, you will find workshops on:
There is a meditation space, Dharma space, death awareness space and healing garden, music, open mic, cafes, showers and sauna, and, as always, the throbbing heart of the central fire.
Applications to offer a talk or workshop are now open here.
The programme for this year's event will be released later this year, in the meantime take a look at our 2022 programme to get a flavour.
Green Earth Awakening happens every year in September. Every other year we will also hold the themes of Green Earth Awakening as a camping retreat for up to 30 people. This is an opportunity to go deeper into practices supporting inner and outer transformation. To find out when these retreats are happening, sign up for Buddhafield’s newsletter using the link above and you’ll get notified when event details are released.
Volunteer
We run on the generosity of volunteers. We thrive on the strength of community created during the events as well as during set-up and tat-down. We’ll release details about how to volunteer for Green Earth Awakening through our website, social media and newsletter. Links for these are above if you want to be kept in the loop.
Offer workshops
Applications to give talks or workshops at this year's event are now open here.
The ticket prices have been kept as low as possible to be as accessible to as many people as possible.
We rely on the generosity of people buying tickets to keep this event running. We offer reduced-rate tickets for people from marginalised identities who experience structural oppression, because we acknowledge the extra labour required by such people to access certain spaces. We want to rectify this gap in access. We also fund places for people who are less financially secure. Please read the details of our tiered pricing system below and consider what you are able to pay.
Explanation of Adult ticket types
Supporting – If you feel financially comfortable on a day-to-day basis, with some excess assets or savings, we invite you to consider this option. This will help to support the ongoing development of the project and enable others who are more economically marginalised to attend.
Standard – The middle rate reflects the basic real cost required to make the event viable. It does not reflect the enormous amount of generosity and volunteer support that keeps us going. This option is for those who feel mostly able to meet basic financial needs month by month, for example:
Supported – We want to make tickets accessible for all. These tickets are subsidised to help that happen. If you experience structural oppression or feel that your identity is marginalised or racialised, this ticket is for you. Or choose this tier if you experience financial insecurity and the following applies:
