invite you to an interactive conference with Carolyn E. Yoder
Friday, May 30, 19-21 hours at Bienenberg (Liestal)
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.
