RECAP: Building Climate Resilience, Internally and Externally, in a Time of Crisis - NYC to LA
Resilience isn’t just about rebuilding after disasters; it’s about strengthening our communities—and ourselves—from within. We explored this shift in perspective with a panel of experts spanning urban design, climate investment, sustainable innovation, and integrative eco-arts therapy. Dive into key insights from our panelists and discover practical strategies to foster resilience in your own life and community. In uncertain times, our ability to adapt, uplift one another, and stay connected has never been more essential.
Redefining & Building Climate Resilience in NYC
“Climate resilience” is evolving. Traditionally, it has been the domain of urban planners, policymakers, and scientists. However, a new wave of professionals is emerging—those dedicated to fostering inner resilience, helping communities navigate eco-anxiety, and developing emotional preparedness for a rapidly changing world.
In response to Los Angeles’ climate emergency, we are coming together in New York City to discuss the current state of climate resilience: what’s happening today, what’s ahead, and how we can take action.

Exploring Connection with Nature through Psychedelic Experiences: A Call to Action from Jon Burmeister
At the Launch of Psychedelic-Climate Week, Jon Burmeister introduced a pilot project in collaboration with PSYCA with a powerful purpose: to deepen our connection to nature and inspire climate action through psychedelic experiences guided by a pre-chosen protocol. In collaboration with a working group, this initiative, titled "Journey Protocols for Inhabiting Nature and Inspiring Action," seeks to develop prompts and exercises that can help participants harness the unique perspective that psychedelics can provide, encouraging a profound re-evaluation of our relationship with the natural world.

Their insights remind us that significant change often begins at the community level, and they shared actionable ways to push for progress in both arenas.

The Science Behind Psychedelics for Creativity, Leadership, and Decision-Making: Exploring New Frontiers
Psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, have garnered significant attention for their potential to treat mental health conditions like major depressive disorder. However, a groundbreaking study is now exploring a lesser-known frontier: the potential of psychedelics to transform leadership, creativity, and decision-making. At the cutting edge of research, this study is taking bold steps to examine how psychedelics can expand consciousness and, in turn, reshape how leaders show up in the world.
