Bhumisparsha School

Bhumisparsha School

About

Bhumisparsha School integrates music, social work, and climate justice with the dharma. The school is located in Águas da Prata, a small Brazilian municipality in the state of São Paulo that is entirely dependent on its fragile ecosystem. The premises include a rehearsal and recording studio, classrooms, a library, a meditation room, and dormitories, as well as a meditation garden and seedling nursery outside. The school is free of charge and offers extracurricular courses and workshops mostly to young people living locally, many of whom are prone to depression, anxiety, and chemical dependency brought about by a lack of opportunities. Effective care for mental health is one of the biggest deficiencies in the region. The courses and workshops aim to provide practical means for this audience to engage in activities related to both the environment and the arts, with some also offering scholarships. Activities are held both in person and online. As well as community activities the school offers an Artistic Residency, encompassing the internal activities of residents and individuals involved in organizing initiatives and so on. Their long-term wish is to expand the residency to accommodate experienced dharma practitioners from all parts of the world.
