The Mind Body Ecology Institute

We are kindly asking for your help in supporting our new Eco Resilience Initiative specifically for K-12 teachers, nurses, parents, and retired persons in our beloved hometown of Fort Worth, Texas!

"There is no human flourishing without Mother Earth flourishing." 

– Yuria Celidwen, author of Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Wisdom for Collective Well-being

The Eco Resilience Initiative programs are dedicated to offering nature-based practices and educational skills that research indicates can promote personal health and resilience, strengthen community ties, and deepen appreciation and care for the natural environment.

Our work aligns closely with Texas Health Resources Community Hope and the city’s visionary GREENprint initiative, particularly its goals to:

• Place stronger emphasis on living with nature to extend the benefits of the local ecosystem citywide.

• Ushering in a new era of programming that fosters engagement, connection and activation across public spaces.

Our Community Convos series offers small-group nature walks while our Eco Resilience Workshops offer hands-on educational training for members of the Fort Worth community, including cohort-specific trainings for K-12 teachers, healthcare workers, parents, and retired persons.

Thank you for your generosity and support for all these hardworking people and for our cherished natural environments and rich cultural history!
