California Wildlife Day began two years ago as an official day on the state calendar, spearheaded by the Carmel River Watershed Conservancy in Monterey County. Now it's time to bring it to #HumboldtCounty, a day of honoring our local #wildlife. It will be a day of community education and service, free and open to all. The 2020 date will be Spring Equinox, March 21. Contact ryan@wildnatureheart.com to begin the heartstorming! (Photo: Fox saying hi on her morning commute) HONORING OUR PAIN AND RESILIENCY Scratch the surface of everyday life and you’ll find many people holding a lot of unexpressed grief and other emotions about what is happening in the world. It is not easy to absorb the enormity of the crises we face, and yet we know it is not meant to be borne alone, but in community. Our intention is simply to offer an opportunity for people to gather together and share our grief and sense of loss at what’s happening with climate crisis and the loss of members of our other-than-human family and habitats. New terms that are becoming increasingly popular—"ecogrief," “climate distress,” “climate grief,” “climate anxiety” or “eco-anxiety.” Whatever we call it, it signifies both our struggle to be with and express our complex emotions AND our interconnectedness with our Earth Home. Pain is the other side of our love. We are in a collective initiatory moment. How can we show up, feel all of it, including the difficult emotions, while moving forward? By sharing grief and other emotions, and moving through them (not wallowing!), we can step into new ways of seeing and reconnect to each other and nature, and thereby become even better stewards of the world and the work that needs to be done to heal. We will heartstorm empowering ways to stay/become engaged annd build resiliency and courage. What to expect: This is a FREE, non-religious, simple earth-based gathering and everyone is welcome. Together we will do an opening circle, share a moment of silence, and an opportunity to share our grief, gratitude, and other emotions. Attendees may expect poetry, movement, a truth mandala, and singing. It will be about an hour and a half. Facilitators: Ryan Van Lenning, Certified Ecotherapist and Kelly Noble, LMFT RSVP on Facebook Event Page. (Link in bio) #humboldt
