Conscious Leadership for Climate Action
A session of reflection, integration, and collective potential
Friday, September 27 • 10:00AM - 11:30AM
Gansevoort Peninsula, Hudson River Park
After an intense week of meetings, panels, and workshops, this 90 min session will invite climate leaders through an active process of reflection and integration in an outdoor setting, connected to nature. Guided by the latest practices in expanding consciousness (both personal and collective), you will reflect on the week and integrate insights into the work ahead for you and your organization.
There is a growing awareness of the interconnections of ourselves, our living communities and the earth. Nature is not external to us – humans, and everything we create, are a part of nature. As the world searches for viable solutions to reduce emissions and rebalance the climate, climate leaders are seeking more holistic practices for action and impact. Active integration is proving to be a powerful practice that can align each of us with our communities and within our ecosystems to unlock our collective potential for transformation.
