Community Practice Day: The Earth Is My Witness
When: March 3, 8:15am-4:30pm
Where: Naropa University, Nalanda Campus
Join us on March 3, 2026, for Community Practice Day—a day when classes and meetings are not held, and when we gather together in virtual and in-person community. For our Spring 2026 Community Practice Day, the theme is The Earth Is My Witness.
As spring emerges, we gather for Community Practice Day, to honor this sacred reciprocity between self and planet, between awakening and care, we are invited to remember what the Buddha knew on the night of his awakening: that the Earth bears witness. In that moment of doubt and clarity, when he placed his hand upon the ground, the Earth did not remain silent. She rose to meet him—steady, alive, saying, I am here. I have always been here.
This gesture lives in each of us. When we touch the Earth, the Earth touches back. In our moments of courage and grief, of awakening and action, we are not alone. The living world holds us as witness—in quiet recognition of our shared becoming.
