At the Zen Center of Syracuse, we recognize the profound interconnectedness of all living beings and the delicate balance of the Earth’s ecosystems. We pledge to cultivate awareness and attentiveness in every aspect of our operations. By learning from the land care traditions of our Onondaga neighbors, we commit to actions that reflect our gratitude to Mother Earth.
The Zen Center of Syracuse acknowledges that we are on the territory of the Onondaga Nation, council fire of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. With gratitude and respect, we join in the stewardship of our shared environment.
