“I come every week because it’s the only place I can go to receive a breathing practice, and I come for the community that I really value.” TH “I like the idea of community also. Especially with the virus and having to stay at home, I realize I’ve felt the need to connect with people. I love the idea of the consciousness, the awareness, and the emphasis on nature. That’s important to me.” DP “I always wanted to learn more about meditation and I’m grateful for the opportunity to come and learn. I’m getting a lot out of it. I can tell that my ability to deal with circumstances is getting better about certain things.” AM “There are not many places I can go and have this type of conversation and feel comfortable.” JG “I come to meditation because it’s like my weekly reset. Even when things get busy and flustered and whatever, if I come here and I do it, it’s like a brand new start to my week and I feel better. It’s my must.” CJ “I feel like I have friends here even though I’ve never met most of the others in person.” JB “I’m here because this is such a perfect little sangha that we have going on Sunday mornings. I meditate a couple of times a day, but this is something special because every week it’s something different and very rewarding to do.” DB

There is so much going on in the world, so much noise, and so many things that constantly need our attention. It’s easy to get caught up in your day-to-day routine and realizing only when your head hits the pillow at night, that you have unresolved anxiety about the future and the unknown, especially when it comes to the conservation of the planet.

Join Sami Aaron, Founder of The Resilient Activist, on Wednesday, March 10 at Noon CT (10 a.m. PT, 11 a.m. MT, 1 p.m. ET) as she explains the importance of the interconnected relationship, both physically and emotionally, between humans and the health of the planet and how you can bring mindfulness back to your community.

All registrants will receive a recording of the broadcast within 48 hours after the live event. By registering for this event, you agree to receive communications from the speaker.

Climate of Community

True Power for Climate Resilience and Recovery

With Sarah Jaquette Ray, author of

A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety:

How to keep your cool on a warming planet

Sunday, March 28, 2021

3:00-5:00 pm CST on Zoom 

Dr. Ray will talk about her book, why she wrote it, and what she hopes it does for the climate generation– and anybody else who experiences climate anxiety. She’ll talk about some of the traps we get into that make us feel powerless and despairing, and explore some strategies to cultivate resilience and efficacy to face the challenges of climate justice. She will explore educators’ tools and experiences through the lens of the Existential Toolkit for Climate Justice Educators.

Copies of “A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety” are available, online or for pickup, through

The process of how we go about developing a resilient community is integral in effectively responding to the climate crisis.

We are working to create a climate of Community

so the community can work effectively for the Climate.

Climate of Community is working to help our community, based on five concepts:

1. We bear the burden of difficult things better as a bonded community than we can ever do as individuals;
2. Sharing our stories authentically is part of the bonding and healing process that keeps us strong and effective;
3. Finding our personal power and linking that with community power is the most effective we can be in addressing broad-scale difficulties;
4. There are many paths to community bonding and healing, arising from diverse traditions and methods, and the more diverse our approaches the stronger we will be and remain.
5. True Power is not “power over” others but “power to” advocate for and serve what matters to us.

 

Climate of Community programming is offered through The Resilient Activist.
