Training, Research, Impact, and a Heart for Caring Activists If you care, you suffer too. The Resilient Activist believes that the world needs inspired, visionary activists who have the resilience to see us through these unprecedented times. If you’re one of those visionary activists, or sense just how difficult the times are now, you know you’re vulnerable to burnout, grief, anger, frustration… all the feels that stymie and even block your vision. With that in mind, Sami Aaron personally wants to let you know about an upcoming research project that The Resilient Activist is working on, Becoming a Resilient Activist – Mindfulness and Resilience Training, and to invite you to an Informational Meeting on Zoom on Tuesday, May 10th, 6:30-7:30 pm Central. This meeting is open to anyone who identifies as a climate activist – whether professionally or as a dedicated volunteer – who might be interested in participating in a trauma and resilience research study and intervention. This course will incorporate resilience training, trauma and grief support, mindfulness practices, body relaxation, breathwork, and nature immersion. May 10th’s event is an opportunity for participants to evaluate whether they would like to make the commitment to participate in the 9-week research study that will be held on Tuesdays on Zoom from May 17th – July 12th, 6:30-8:00 pm Central. There is no cost for either the informational session or the research study. You can find all the details and register for the informational session at this link. https://www.theresilientactivist.org/event/informational-meeting-becoming-a-resilient-activist-mindfulness-and-resilience-training-mrt/ With the most recent IPCC reports, we know that many activists are experiencing burnout, grief, fear, frustration, and more. Numerous studies have clearly demonstrated the need for interventions to support activists’ emotional well-being. This study is designed to meet that need. Please share this invitation with others who may be interested and accept my gratitude for all you do for a more resilient world – Sami Sami Aaron (she/her) The Resilient Activist: A Joyful, Nature-Connected Community 913.915.1971 www.theresilientactivist.org |
