Join an extraordinary group of 50+ speakers and teachers as well as leaders worldwide who care about the thriving of people, planet and our future to explore how to be a healing force amid the climate crisis.
In the video below, Ginny Whitelaw Roshi, CEO of the Institute for Zen Leadership, gives an overview of the summit, its purpose and what might make it uncommonly helpful to you.
