ConnectIONS Live!
What is noetic resilience? Join us on Friday October 2nd for an experiential webinar exploring four noetic approaches that can help create a robust sense of well-being and thriving through times of crisis. When confronted with ongoing threats and challenges, every one of us can fall into tensing, checking out, becoming immobile, defended, isolated, fearful and anxious, or knocked off balance. This is our opportunity to build greater levels of flexible strength, so we can bend, and not break, in the windstorms of life. Based on the latest science of stress resilience, IONS Fellows Cassandra Vieten and Michael Sapiro will share noetic practices to cultivate hope, flexible, resolute strength of being, and connecting with what remains unchanged within us.
