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.
More and more studies show the powerful benefits – for both physical health and emotional wellbeing – of mindfulness practices and time spent in nature. This event, bringing these two important concepts together, can nurture individual wellbeing while fostering community-wide resilience.
Participants will
-
-
- receive an understanding of the benefits of nature-centered, community-based mindfulness practices to your physical and emotional health.
- learn the simple steps to a nature-based mindfulness practice in an experiential, guided meditation session through the Five Essentials for a Resilient World
- receive small group support and insight through discussions about mindfulness practices and ways you can bring them into your everyday life.

You’ll have the opportunity to chat and ask questions about the online platform and learn just how you can get the most from our content and members.
We welcome anyone whose heart and mind are shifting towards a deeper understanding of our changing climate and the social injustices that accompany that change. We invite those who feel that they would benefit from connecting with a like-minded community that offers support and guidance to resilience in a way that is uplifting, pragmatic, and visionary.
The Resilient Activist (TRA) hosts this online discussion community that consists primarily of discussion on topics related to resilience, meditation, eco-distress, Earth-Care, and Self-Care. We also host live events, supportive group gatherings, and courses and we expect this site will evolve over time in response to the needs of the members.
Full membership access is free, and donations are gratefully accepted. You are enthusiastically welcome whether or not you contribute financially. As we add new groups, events, and courses, there may be fees charged for those new programs, but fees will always be based on a sliding scale in order to keep our services accessible to all.
