Speakers – Day 1

Today’s theme is Newly Emerging – we each come into this work with our own experiences, stories, and identities such as our age, race, nationality, gender identity, education, ideologies, etc. These act as lenses that inform how we respond to our realities and envision the future. On Day ONE COE, we will enter an emergent space, deliberately becoming aware of our biases. We will tell our stories as a critical step in arriving to this space, to this group, at this perfect time. Here, we will make new allies, create and play with freedom of expression, and build trusting space to share feelings.

Speakers – Day 3

Today’s theme is REGENERATIVE PLANNING. In the Day 3 experiences, we’ll focus on encompassing the dualities of the process of change: feeling the interconnectedness of our struggles, while recognizing these are not the same struggles. Holding joy for what can be, while grieving for what is already lost. Holding complexity around the massive problems we face, while embracing the simplicity of the micro-changes we can make – and have made. Knowing that large changes are the echo and result of many small ones. By fully embodying the feelings of our future visions, we’ll discover concrete steps that we can embed in our daily lives now.

Karime Mojica Handal

Karime Mojica Handal

Analyst, Climate Resilient - México

Environmental Sciences & Engineering Student with minor in International Development Work, Climate Activist, and Creator of KALMHA Yoga – Virtual Yoga Studio.

Karime (22) is an environmental sciences student living  in the Netherlands, she is a climate activist, a research assistant for the start-up NGO Climate Resilient, and the creator of her own brand and virtual yoga studio named KALMHA. Overwhelmed by climate change and the science behind it, Karime suffered from climate anxiety just like many activists and students in environmental/social fields. Having practiced meditation and yoga since she was 13 and while being close to a burnout during her studies, Karime only then managed to cope with her climate anxiety through the practice of mindfulness. She realized that in order to heal our environment we first must learn how to heal ourselves, because the way we are towards nature and other people is a reflection of how we treat ourselves internally. In order to help and inspire as many people as possible, she has recently launched her own yoga and meditation online practice, teaching others the tools that helped her convert her fear into action.

“Our perception is that crisis is urgent and requires immediate and intense engagement and may lead to burnout – To burn out trying to resist a system that is fuelled by burning things out is not resistance”…”Caring for our own and others’ emotional wellbeing is one of the greatest forms of activism” – Sarah Jaquette Ray, in Fieldguide to Climate Anxiety
