In our experience many people who are interested in mindfulness are also interested in the ecological crisis (and the other way round), and so we have collected some resources for you. Below is a list of resources which we think are accessible to people from all beliefs or none. This includes some material on connecting to nature, and how to face the climate crisis mindfully.
