These challenging times call for resilience that is beyond our individual ability to bounce back or adapt to changing conditions.
We need deep resilience that is unshakeable–grounded in love, connection, and our universal nature.
We created this summit with 20 expert guides to offer insights,
practices and communities to deepen your resilience.

Deep Resilience
In these times of destabilized climate, ecosystems, society, and geopolitics, we’re facing an unprecedented scale of disruption and loss. How can we live and lead as joyful, connected, loving human beings? We need resilience that can hold up under extreme conditions.
We need Deep Resilience.
That’s why we created this summit and carefully curated the video recordings as a timeless resource. Here’s a taste of what participants said:
“I loved the mixture of principles, stories, practices and the variety of perspectives.”
“It all worked! The circle session was a real revelation for me in terms of getting in touch with my heart!”
“Onward [I go], following my heart/body wisdom with no separation, sincere intention, and agility.”
“The design of the Summit was fantastic. All of the speakers and the content was woven together to make learning much easier…I look forward to watching the video to keep my learning continually fresh!”

“Resilience flows from our relationship with reality. It deepens collectively. And becomes bottomless as we touch our true nature.”

We compiled videos, session synopses, speaker information, bonus content and additional resources into a timeless video package — a Deep Resilience Navigation Guide
What You Can Expect:
Be guided through the programming we recorded over 4 days based on daily themes.
DAY 1: Deep Resilience & Nature
DAY 2: Deep Resilience & Loving Responses
DAY 3: Zen, Indigenous & Intergenerational Wisdom
DAY 4: Deep Resilience & Futures
Be inspired by world-class guides, some familiar and perhaps some new to you, each illuminating different pathways to deep resilience, and drawing from diverse wisdom traditions. Learn the background of each speaker and their best resources for deep resilience.
Be refreshed by a Zen Toolkit of pre-recorded practices that you can return to time and again. Cultivate deep resilience through 1-Breath, 2-Sides, 3-Centers and 4-Energy Patterns. Be reminded of the posture, breathing and relaxed concentration of Zen meditation, so that you can get the most from the practice.
Be part of and nourished by a growing healing movement - learn about the communities of practice that came together during the summit and discover ways to stay connected with those that resonate with you.
