Contemplative Practices & Environmental Breakdown

Join Diana Hulet and I for a conversation about the intersection of spiritual practice and environmental breakdown. 

Here's a sneak peak of what we discuss:

  • The call to go inward AND the call to engage in the world

  • Holding space for our anger and sadness without being reactive

  • Dropping the narrative that we have to show up a certain way in order to practice

  • VULNERABILITY

  • Chronic illness and climate disaster

Authors mentioned: Rumi, David Whyte, & Sophie Strand
