The Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron says, “The truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart.… The healing comes from letting there be room for
all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” In these times, especially, being resilient means weathering things falling apart, while still getting through, keeping it together, staying whole. It can even mean becoming stronger – this is the idea of anti-fragility. We’ll explore what being truly resilient looks like, not just individually, but how we might be resilient as a community, a culture, or even a species among species.
