Mid City Zen Center and Buddhist Peace Fellowship welcome people of all faiths and spiritual traditions to a weekend training on spiritual activism.

How can we foment “wise disruption” to seriously and creatively challenge systems of oppression?

How do we integrate both spiritual practice and our deep commitments to social justice?

What is Nonviolent Direct Action, and how can Buddhists and dharma-heads use it to build people-power, creating fresh, life-giving tactics along the way?

The Buddhist Peace Fellowship is a national organization exploring a rich and challenging spiritual-political paradox: Accepting the world as it is, and fighting like hell to change it.

Join us for a weekend New Orleans intensive on Dharma & Direct Action, building concrete skills for compassionate confrontation. In a world tormented by racism, sexism, climate disasters, economic oppression, and more — learn how to develop inspiring responses guided by spiritual wisdom, political awareness, and a bodhisattva’s vow for collective liberation.
