Currently, humanity faces an unprecedented number of crises, individually and collectively. One out of every five adults in the United States experiences some form of mental illness. Rates of childhood depression and anxiety are going up. Informational overstimulation and a lack of connection with ourselves and others can cause chronic stress and confusion.

News of environmental crises can be overwhelming. Long-term drought in the southwestern United States has caused water levels in reservoirs like Lake Powell to drop to historic lows. Soon, we may need to worry not just about political arguments over policy, but the basic stability of our power, agriculture, and water systems. 

Overcoming these challenges will not be possible if we rely solely on technology, policy, research, or the will of a small group of leaders. What we need is Coexistence. It’s the natural human awareness that all life on Earth is interconnected and that we must take care of each other to survive.

 By awakening this sense and working together towards collective action, we can contribute to a new, more harmonious, and more sustainable way of living on Earth.

Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi is hosting this event. We are proud to welcome Ilchibuko Todd, Chief Executive Officer of  Body & Brain Yoga and Health Centers, Inc., and a renowned spiritual teacher, to share experiential wisdom about Coexistence. We’ll also welcome Steve Kim, Executive Director of Earth Citizens Organization, for a deeper understanding of how to manifest Coexistence in our modern world. Join us for this special event!
