style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we seek to restore connections and build resilience in nature, how might we also build and restore our own resilience? In this lively, interactive plenary, we\u2019ll peel back the onion of the layers it takes to create the lasting, systemic change we seek in the world. Panelists will explore how the conservation movement can better foster resilience \u2013 within ourselves and especially collectively \u2013 in the face of staunch headwinds. They\u2019ll share stories from their experiences of what sustains them: being grounded in a sense of purpose and meaning; drawing sustenance from powerful networks of support; growing cultures of inclusion, shared vulnerability, and belonging; and being deeply rooted in relationships with both places and people. And they\u2019ll share relevant insights based on what we\u2019re learning about collective resilience in other arenas.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, what can we<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learn from forests about how to thrive amidst loss and change? What might we learn<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">about how to act in alignment with nature from Indigenous ways of knowing or from<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">building meaningful partnerships with communities? What wisdom lies at the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">intersections of environment, art, and culture? Our h<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ope is that you\u2019ll leave this session freshly energized for your own journey to build resilience within yourself, so you can create a more just and equitable future for the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Panelists:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-172132 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot.jpg 1208w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot-755x1030.jpg 755w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot-768x1047.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot-1127x1536.jpg 1127w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot-1100x1500.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/James-Rattling-Leaf-Headshot-517x705.jpg 517w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>James Rattling Leaf\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Indigenous Consultant\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Principal, Wolakota Lab\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James Rattling Leaf is a Global Indigenous Consultant and principal of the Wolakota Lab, LLC who works to support Indigenous peoples\u2019 nation rebuilding efforts through the effective and respective application of traditional ecological knowledge and western science.
