Event Description
Are you concerned about our collective planetary future? How is that affecting your emotional health? Join us for an ecological health and psychological resiliency symposium.
The Integrated Sustainability Initiative of Trinity College and the School of the Environment is partnering with the Buddhism Psychology and Mental Health program to address pressing issues of climate anxiety, ecoanxiety, critical hope and nature deficit. Experts in the field will discuss these topics with student environmental advocates. Then you will have the opportunity to participate in reimagining our collective future with a sustainability futurist. The afternoon will be preceded by an opening mindfulness practice and reflection on land and Indigenous perspectives, and close with opportunities for further discussion, networking and hands-on student-led activities.
