The times we are living in are marked by unprecedented challenges. We are witnessing The Great Unraveling across many intersecting and interconnected societal and environmental dimensions.

A few years ago, I crossed paths with the Resilience and Acceptance in the Face of Collapse course, which supports people to collectively “make sense” of these times. When I looked into the curriculum, I immediately knew this was for me. First I took the course (twice), then I became a course leader. I find this course to be so tremendously helpful, informative, and inspiring that I want to pass the gift along to others. 

The Resilience and Acceptance course was created to support people coming together to learn, reflect, and share about the existential realities that we are facing. In a free 9-session course, we briefly review the many interconnected crises (political, financial, climate, commercial, social, cultural) and the predicament that they pose to our global civilization. The main focus of the class, though, is on resourcing participants for living fully present, engaged, resilient, and meaningful lives in the Now, within these times of unraveling.

Resilience, as defined in the course, is both an inner (mental, emotional, and spiritual) and outer (action in the world) capacity. The course aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of resilience in all aspects of life, including the role of acceptance, community-building, localization, and deep adaptation.

Equally important as the curriculum materials, the structure of the course sessions creates a container for deep sharing, both in small groups and with the full group. Participants report that it is the combination of the excellent learning material plus the opportunity for deep processing of it that is meaningful and transformational for them.
