Day 1 Eco Challenge: Understanding Eco-Anxiety

The Challenge has ended and we've managed to plant 10,000+ trees with Ecosia! We continue to offer these recordings as a resource for you. Thank you for joining the challenge and showing that we can extend our mindfulness practice for support and action for the environment.

Eco-anxiety, much like the climate crisis, can sound so abstract. It's why it's so important to understand its components, explore the feelings associated with it, and obtain accurate and reliable information surrounding it. In this session,we'll focus on recognising the causes of eco-anxiety and the different forms it takes. Then, we will come into a space for a grounding visualisation where you'll be asked to set an intention as you go through this 10-day challenge.

This 10-day program is created in collaboration with the not-for-profit search engine Ecosia, lovingly guided by Lalah Delia, and with magnificent music from Garth Stevenson.

Resources mentioned are skepticalscience.com and carbonbrief.org.

Thank you 🙏 I was having an eco-anxiety attack, but knew where to come for the right meditation. Much calmer and more grounded then I was before. 💚🌏🌍🌎💚

I need and appreciate this guided meditation so much. Thank you.

It’s great! Thank you for doing this challenge. I am a sustainability consultant for 15+ years. I am well aware of what we face environmentally but I also have faith in humankind. We will witness a lot of destruction and change but I believe that we will remember that we are nature and we will start to live in tune with natures rhythms. The solutions are available but we must ALL be a part of the progress. Don’t be scared, be the solutions. We each have a role to saving planet earth 🌍

Thanks for helpful suggestions to combat overwhelming thinking

Left me with interest and curiosity of how I can learn more and "do" more
