Created in the US in 2015, Earth Holders is an affinity group within the Plum Village International Community of Engaged Buddhists, founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

In accordance with the UN climate negotiations November 30 through December 11, Earthholder.org has created a format for committed ‘earth practice’ as a global community. These commitments will be taken up by Buddhist and mindfulness communities around the world for this two week period. All who wish to do so are invited to participate.

“Earth Holders encourages you to take a moment during our two weeks of Climate Prayer, from November 28th – December 11th, to reflect on your lifestyle and make a personal commitment to reduce your environmental impact. When contemplation and action come together in the moments of our daily life, we enrich our daily life with love, meaning and connection.”
