The following is a proposal for a presentation along with a guided audience practice and q-and-a.

Most sustainability initiatives focus on "outer sustainability," namely, innovation and investment in areas such as business and finance, public policy and law, education, technology, water management, agriculture, and fuel production.

The approach of "inner sustainability" or what is sometimes called "inner development" complements and amplifies outer sustainability initiatives by foregrounding the fundamental importance of exploring our values, background beliefs, worldviews, and associated cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacities along with developing what Dr. Richard J. Davidson at the University of Wisconsin's Center for Healthy Minds calls the "skills of well-being."

These dimensions can serve as deep leverage points for personal and collective processes of growth that promote resilient leaders and communities, responsible innovation, and impactful collaboration to foster regenerative systems that flourish.

Nature-based inner development, community building, and eco leadership training is what we offer at the Mind Body Ecology Institute. Our approach blends Western science and humanities along with Indigenous and contemplative wisdom. Our programs are a fusion of nature-based resilience and somatic practices along with education in inner/outer regenerative sustainability.
