Can connecting our own inner mindfulness with outer sustainability
help us turn toward our future with strength and resilience?
Given the increasing pace and harms of climate change, we can sense the rising call for our most powerful actions to heal our relationship with Earth.
Developing an embodied understanding of our interconnectedness with all life on the Earth is deeply needed, now.
