Welcome to Ekodo
Eko (Ecological); dō (way)
Ekodo approaches environmental and social action as sacred practice. Harnessing the power of compassion, we bear witness to ecological and human suffering, and act to alleviate it. Ekodo links with the original intention of the Zen martial arts, as the skillful minimization of harm based on the realisation that the whole world is our truest self. Therefore, defending ecosystems and communities is ultimately self defense.
Even though the hosts of Ekodo are Zen practitioners, Ekodo is compatible with different traditions (and no tradition) and does not assume or require an adherence to any dogma. At its core it is simply a recognition that the world is interconnected, from which a radical ecology arises to inform and inspire compassionate social change.
The three pillars of Ekodo are:
Ekodo is led and hosted by Sean Weaver and Jo Campbell, who currently live in Golden Bay New Zealand. They run workshops and retreats in Golden Bay and other centers.
