Next Monday, August 25, the Office of Advancement warmly invites you to a special presentation at the Sudhana Center Buddha Hall: An Agri-culture for Regenerating Our Earth, Community, and Self. The talk will offer penetrating insights into regenerative agriculture, traditional wisdom, and wellbeing.

Join us for a nurturing evening of inspiration and learning on how we can cultivate a more resilient and compassionate future—within ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Our featured guests will be joining us in person from Hawaii, bringing decades of experience:

• Dr. Craig Elevitch, internationally recognized agroforestry educator and author of 14 books, including Agroforestry Landscapes for Pacific Islands and Agroforestry Design for Regenerative Production (2024). Since 1993, he has led over 300 workshops with more than 15,000 participants worldwide, and was honored with the Gusi International Peace Prize (2023). His work focuses on creating abundant, resilient food systems rooted in regenerative practices.

• Jamyang Dolma, President of the Academy of Himalayan Art and Child Development and co-founder of Mama Food Forest™. With a background spanning international business consulting and cultural preservation, she has launched initiatives in Bhutan, China, and the U.S. that unite education, sustainable fashion, and regenerative food systems.

Together, they co-created Mama Food Forest™, a living model of regenerative agriculture that empowers families and communities to reconnect with nature, practice self- and community-healing, and respond to urgent global challenges such as food security, climate change, and disaster resilience.
