What Did 2020 Teach

We must metabolize the experiences of 2020; make sense of all the things that happened seemingly at once; and learn together how to be more prepared to advance a beautiful, just, and joyful future when we face the next such cataclysmic moment.

What’s more, factors like climate change and population growth actually mean pandemics are likely to be more frequent and more severe in the future than they have been in the past. In concert with more frequent climate change-related natural disasters and environments becoming uninhabitable from drought, sea-level change, and heat, we will again be challenged with a set of circumstances that change the world.
