Description
Resilience is our way of bouncing back after difficult, oppressive, and/or traumatic experiences. It’s part of how we live through very hard moments or times. Resilience brings back a positive imagination for the future and lets us re-establish safety and connection. Resilience keeps inviting us towards strength, possibility, and healing. Sometimes, there is a fine line between resilience and survival strategies. Come discover resilience from the collective (communities and cultures) all the way down to the individual.
