Hello all! I wanted to highlight some of the facets of resilience I learned about by attending the CCL 2024 Inclusion Conference on September 21st, the theme of which was “Rising Above: Renewal and Resilience for Our Future.” I loved learning from the speakers’ diverse perspectives on resilience and how it relates to inclusion. I highly recommend you watch the full recordings of the conference, but below are a few of my highlights!
Infinite Power, Infinite Potential:
In this session, Julian Cauzae, founder of Zenethica, explained how aligning with your spiritual power can allow you to build personal resilience within your climate advocacy. Julian emphasized that spiritual power is available to all, regardless of your background and religious beliefs. This session inspired me to connect with my spiritual power by cultivating more compassion, meditating, and building community. Watch this session to explore addressing the climate challenge through systemic changes rooted in individual spiritual power!
Resilient Advocacy: Mindful Strategies for Climate Activists:
This session, facilitated by Arlene J.M. Grant, Esq., offered multiple guided mindfulness practices focused on taking inspiration from the resilient qualities of nature. Arlene had us reflect on how our personal resilience can be flexible like a winding river and strong like trees in a forest. I appreciated how the session also included a brief discussion of simple techniques for managing stress and staying focused. Watch this session to test out some climate-specific meditation practices and learn general tips for building resilience!
