Taking Refuge in the Earth with Cynthia Jurs

Joining us on the show this week is dharma teacher, author, and environmental activist, Cynthia Jurs. Cynthia is a teacher in Thich Naht Hanh’s Order of Interbeing as well as an honorary lama in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. She is largely recognized for her work with the Earth Treasure Vase practice which has brought her all around the world to a diverse array of cultures and ecosystems. She released her first book, ‘Summoned by the Earth: Becoming a Holy Vessel’ earlier this year which is now available wherever you order your books.

In this conversation, we explore the treasure vase practice as well as the reclamation of the feminine, householder practice, and collective awakening.
