Part 2: Activism, Preparation, Sabbath How to dive deeper into the 3 areas of Resilience — Activism, Preparation, and Sabbath, — offering the opportunity for each person to create a Resilience Map to navigate their own engaged response to the climate/ecological crisis.

Part 3: Non-Attached Eco-vangelism Strategies Learn to engage with people who approach the climate/ecological crisis from diverse starting points, by understanding the 6 mindsets through which people navigate climate/ecological care, from the research "Heartwired to Love the Ocean." This segment of the workshop will offer opportunities for people to group themselves into pairs and to practice using the 6 messaging strategies.
