On Kinship and Indigenous Approaches to Flourishing (Online)

SEE EVENT DETAILS
How do we cultivate happiness? When facing the monumental challenges of our world, it can feel natural to tune out the bad news and focus on our mental health. Indigenous scholar and author, Dr. Yuria Celidwen teaches that attending only to our own state of mind is precisely why so many of us struggle to be happy. Dr. Celidwen offers that what is missing is the Indigenous perspective, the understanding that individual happiness is not enough-we must expand our view to include our kinship with others-from our neighbors to the living Earth.

Join Dr. Celidwen and Rachel Bryant for an illuminating conversation exploring mental wellness through the lens of Indigenous wisdom for collective and sustainable happiness. While recognizing the gains made by Western positive psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience, Dr. Celidwen's research shows the tremendous benefit of integrating Indigenous approaches into our well-being practices.

Sharing insights from her latest book, Flourishing Kin, she identifies seven key principles found in Indigenous cultures worldwide that embrace virtue, ethical living, and spirituality. Each principle reveals how we can overcome isolation and despair, nourish healthy relationships with our communities and environment, and build strong foundations of well-being that elevate our life choices.

Join us for this thoughtful, nourishing exploration of the rich principles found in Indigenous cultures and how these principles can enrich your well-being

Sliding scale $0 to $25.
