Climate Change, Trauma, and Radical Resilience in an Era of Global Crisis

Research and Reflections on Fear, Radical Resilience, and Courageous Action  

This interactive lecture explores the profound and often traumatic effects of climate change and other global crises on the mind, body, and spirit of both individuals and communities. How do we avoid simple answers or spiritual bypassing that disconnects us from reality? How do we cultivate collective radical resilience and the courage of our spiritual ancestors? Through a combination of research and reflection, we explore these questions and how to live faithfully in challenging times.

Carolyn E. Yoder is a psychotherapist and international trauma and resilience trainer. She is the founding director of STAR (Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience), a training program of the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University in Virginia. She specializes in helping individuals and communities who have experienced trauma find ways to move toward healing and peace.
