In this 1-hour Climate Resilience & Response mindfulness webinar, iBme co-founder Jessica Morey guides an honest consideration of the current environmental crisis on our planet and what, if anything, we can do about it.
Concerned about the planet and the creatures we share it with? Don’t know what to do? This webinar presents perspectives and practices based on depth ecologist Joanna Macey’s Work That Reconnects to help show the way.
This Climate Resilience & Response mindfulness webinar, Learning from this Great Pause, was hosted by iBme’s friends at Garrison Institute in the Spring of 2020.
Jessica Morey has been on a mission to save the planet since she was a child. In this webinar, she weaves together presentation, personal examples, guided meditation, and input from the participants to take you through:
- a reflection on what we can learn from our current crisis to prepare for the future
- three pathways forward from here as a global community
- a three-stage “spiral process” for navigating deep change and transformation
With a focus on being present and getting into our bodies, Jessica teaches us in practices we can use in our everyday lives to restore inner balance, allow for truth, and find our next steps forward.
