What can we learn about resilience from indigenous leaders?
In alignment with the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, this seminar brings together a global panel of environmentalists, clinicians, scholars, and indigenous leaders. Member States of the UN and the international community have been asked to consider the specific needs and priorities of indigenous peoples in addressing the global outbreak of COVID 19. We will focus on the Yawanawa tribe of Brazil, who is also facing the deforestation of the 500,000 acres of Amazon rainforest that they call home. Our goal is to be an advocacy forum for the voices of indigenous peoples globally, as well as to inspire us to include them in our conversations.

We are being invited to heed to the collective wake-up call to the power of the psyche and to engage intentionally with our souls. The global crisis seems to be telling us that it’s only through our effort as a collective species that equilibrium may rise in the midst of chaos.
