An emerging theme at Common Ground addresses ways our practice expands our resiliency on both personal and community levels as we face into the many crises of our times. Tonight we’ll shine a light on some of the gifts that are obscured by more secure times, gifts that crises bring forward. We’ll draw on some of Joanna Macy’s teachings on this topic and explore together how to apply these insights to issues that matter to us. Kaia Svien is a long time student of Joanna Macy. She leads quarterly programs at Common Ground on topics related to climate disruption.
