Based in New York City's East Village,
The Interdependence Project is a grassroots, community-oriented
non-profit organization. We offer weekly meditation classes,
lectures and discussions inspired by the Buddhist philosophical
tradition as well as other contemplative education systems,
guest lecturers from a variety of backgrounds, workshops
and retreats, community service and activism projects, monthly
arts groups and seasonal arts shows, and an online multi-genre
magazine (Sentient City). The ID Project is dedicated to
teaching the insights of meditation techniques and applying
the truth of interconnectedness to life in the 21st-century
world.

Indifference pretends to create peace, but it is
based on not caring, a silent resignation.
It is a movement away, a separation fed by a subtle
fear of the heart. We pull back, believing that
what happens to others is not our concern. Our courage
leaves us.
Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.
