Contemplative Practices & Environmental Breakdown
Join Diana Hulet and I for a conversation about the intersection of spiritual practice and environmental breakdown.
Here's a sneak peak of what we discuss:
The call to go inward AND the call to engage in the world
Holding space for our anger and sadness without being reactive
Dropping the narrative that we have to show up a certain way in order to practice
VULNERABILITY
Chronic illness and climate disaster
Authors mentioned: Rumi, David Whyte, & Sophie Strand
