COVID has changed our lives, it has paused many aspects including our ability to continue many climate-focused actions.

The aim of the self-guided practice and interactive online gathering is to feel nurtured, develop our sense of support, guidance, and well-being in Nature and with like-minded people. We have the opportunity to build our resilience united and reconnected as we negotiate a newly defined active life while living with COVID.

The online gathering on December 8th is an opportunity to be truly present to each other, reflect and share, and to strengthen our capacity to continue to act for life on Earth.

Ecopsychology practice: You will receive an email with a link for a self-guided practice utilizing the Natural Systems Thinking process which includes consent, multi-sensing, re-connecting, and gratitude.
