COP29 Mental Wellness Break: Nature-Connection Meditation at Full Moon
COP29 Mental Wellness Break: Nature-Connection Meditation at Full Moon
At this event, we will do a guided visualization meditation to connect with the nature around us, do dyad conversation exercises to connect on a more vulnerable level beyond the name tags and titles, and complete journal prompts to reconnect with ourselves and our energy, as well as the energy of the moon.
Learn more about the practice of full moon ceremonies and women's circles and how connecting with the cycles of the moon can help you find more balance in your climate activism work.
