Meditation Retreat for Animal Advocates: Six Practices to Transcend Burnout - November 21 and 22, 2026

​Join us for a meditation retreat designed specifically for animal advocates. Over one weekend, we'll explore six practices that help sustain this work: generosity, discipline, patience, effort, concentration, and wisdom.

​More than theory, these are practical meditation tools for working with the exhaustion that comes from witnessing animal suffering.

• ​Guided by experience: Retreat led by Ven. Tashi Nyima, a Buddhist monk, vegan, and longtime activist, in a secular, welcoming, and non-sectarian environment.

• ​For all levels: Open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike. All you need is an internet connection and a commitment to your own well-being.

• ​A gift from the community: Thanks to the generosity of Mobius and The Pollination Project, this retreat is offered at no cost.
