Nina Simons – Remembering our Inter-relatedness to Navigate Dangerous Times
Bioneers | Published: May 1, 2025 Nature, Culture and SpiritWomen's Leadership Video
Bioneers co-founder Nina Simons shares her rage and sadness at the current national and international situation and expresses her admiration for all those resisting in whatever ways they can. She also stresses the importance of taking care of our inner health and drawing from a range of wisdom traditions in order to maintain our psycho-spiritual equilibrium. We will need to nurture our souls and our affective relationships, Nina argues, lest we burn out during what is sure to be a protracted struggle to protect the natural world and birth a genuinely compassionate, life-affirming civilization.
