Based in New York City's East Village,
The Interdependence Project is a grassroots, community-oriented
non-profit organization that focuses on meditation, activism,
and the arts. 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 contemplative, activist, and
artistic backgrounds, workshops and retreats, community
service and activism projects, monthly arts groups and seasonal
arts shows, and an online multi-genre magazine and a daily
blog. The ID Project is dedicated to 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.
