This course helps us understand that community is essential for our well-being and that our mental resilience depends on a healthy sense of belonging and interconnectedness. As our societies become more vulnerable to climate and ecological collapse, community-led collective action that strengthens social and relational capital will be necessary for survival and to ensure belonging and informal social connectedness. These courses can help guide us through this time of uncertainty, look for the levers that can create systemic transformation, and embrace our roles in doing so. This work can feel lonely or isolating, but it does not have to be so. Each of us is situated to contribute to the systemic transformation that must occur in our human systems to rebalance the Earth's ecological systems. And if we connect with one another, we can multiply our impact exponentially.
