About the Conversation
We are at a pivotal time in human history. Please join us in exploring the relationship between ecology and our connections with each other and our Earth . . to collectively realize how we can develop resiliency and heal from crisis. We gather to propose innovative and progressive systems, as holistic alternatives to 988, co-designing solutions to some of the most complex problems we face in our world today, from the individual to the planetary scales. We will talk about the webinar series introduced in 2018, Reconnecting with the Earth for Personal and Global Healing, that shares with us about how we can unite in therapeutic community engagement, for regeneration and recovery, as a Wellness Initiative Network. For the sake of sustainability, for the future of our species, and love for our home.
