Joshi mindfully explore: *Inner Climate Change: How transforming the heart and mind shapes the outer world. *Original Innocence: Returning to the heart’s wisdom that already knows what matters most. *Ritual and Higher Forces: Turning to sacred connection for strength in healing the earth. *Inner and Outer Healing: Burnout reveals the truth that inner practice is as vital as outer change. *Steps for Transformation: Empowering women and educating children as the greatest levers of change. *Beyond Despair: Despair as a failure of imagination—regeneration and renewal are possible. *Wisdom of Love: Gary Snyder’s reminder to act not from fear or guilt, but from love for the world. “The invitation of inner climate change is realizing our hearts already know what truly matters. From this lens, inner climate change is inseparable from outer climate healing.” – Jack Kornfield ================ Inner Climate Change with Prof. Rajiv S.
