So, you want to help?
We’re rooted in the invitation to start where you stand.
You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to do everything. Start with what you have, where you are, and the community around you.
MOVE
Join a Moving Mountains fundraising class or gathering in your community.
HOST
Are you a movement professional, studio, gym, run club, or community space? Host a donation-based class or gathering in collaboration with us. You bring what you do best- we’ll help with the rest.
GIVE
Donate directly to Nepali-led flood relief, via our campaign or one that resonates with you. Every contribution matters.
LEARN
Learn more about what’s happening in Nepal, explore the resources we’re sharing, and stay engaged with the larger issues shaping communities around the world.
SHARE
Invite someone in. Share a class. Tell your community. Help this effort travel beyond any one studio or network.
Moving Mountains is rooted around a simple idea:
start where you stand.
Relief work is complicated. Climate change is complicated.
And none of us can respond to either alone.
Moving Mountains isn't an aid organization or a climate organization.
We're a group of people using the community and resources we already have
to support people doing the work on the ground.
Here in Rhode Island, that means movement. We're bringing together some of the incredible instructors, studios, gyms, clinicians, and community spaces across our state to host donation-based classes in support of Nepali-led flood relief x climate justice/resiliency/action work.
Along the way, we'll share opportunities to learn more, highlight organizations doing meaningful work both in Nepal and here in Rhode Island, and make space for conversation about a crisis that reaches far beyond any one country or crisis.
We don’t have to have all the answers to participate. We don’t need to be experts.
We can start where we stand.
How it works
01
MOVE
Come as you are.
Join a yoga class, run, strength session, hike, dance class, meditation, or another Moving Mountains gathering happening across Rhode Island.
Movement gives us a place to come together with what we’re carrying, and with our neighbors!
02
GIVE
Turn showing up into tangible support.
Moving Mountains events are donation-based, with 100% of donations supporting Nepali-led flood relief efforts (learn more).
Give what you can. Your presence and participation matter. No one is turned away due to lack of funds.
03
ACT
Let it move beyond the gathering.
Climate grief, anxiety, and overwhelm are real. Despite being overwhelmed, we do have the capacity to respond.
Learn, stay engaged, and find meaningful ways to take action - from where you are & your unique expression of stewardship + care.
Gather.
We gather because we don’t have to face this alone, and truthfully, we can’t.
That would be like asking one person to move a mountain.
Moving Mountains brings people together across Rhode Island - not because movement can solve the climate crisis, but because community can help us stay present, connected, and engaged with what comes next.
Together, we make space for what we’re feeling, support people who need resources now, and turn toward the climate emergency rather than away from it.
