Visions and Voices of a Healthy Planet
Human caused climate change has created an existential threat to life on this planet and has dramatically altered our health and wellbeing as well as our conception of ourselves and our place in the world. It is in this spirit that care providers and artists across genres and geographies who recognize the relationship between planetary and human health were convened. This conversation for Our Planet, Our Health aimed to facilitate immersion in the reciprocal relationship between care for our planet and ourselves.
