Kaira jewel lingo11/12/2022 ![]() To those frustrated with other’s responses, Kaira advises, “Meeting the tendency to withdraw with compassion is much more effective than meeting it with judgment or shaming. A natural response when confronted with the climate crisis, especially if the person is unequipped to be present through the realization is withdrawal. In Befriending Eco-Anxiety, Kaira leads readers through a challenging yet honest depiction of the issues our world is facing vis-a-vis climate change, pausing to encourage meditative strategies to cope with the reader’s inevitable rising Eco-Anxiety. Kaira has written two recent articles which showcase her unique perspective, Befriending Eco-Anxiety: A Practice of Deep Adaptation and Loving the Earth by Loving One Another. She edited Thich Nhat Hanh’s Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children and has been published in numerous other books and magazines. A teacher with Schumacher College and Mindful Schools and a guiding teacher for One Earth Sangha, she explores the interweaving of art, play, ecology and embodied mindfulness practice and is a certified yoga teacher and InterPlay leader. She leads retreats internationally, offering mindfulness programs for educators, parents and youth in schools, in addition to activists, people of color, artists and families, and individual spiritual mentoring. A Dharma teacher and ordained nun of 15 years in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing, Kaira Jewel Lingo is now based in Colombo, Sri Lanka, though she will soon relocate back to the US. ![]()
