Meditation for Climate Activists

Tue, Jun 4, 2024 –

Tue, Jun 10, 2025

Meditation for Climate Activists and the Climate-Conscious is a two-year, monthly meditation series led by trans* poet, artist, and meditation teacher Anaïs G. Duplan. “We are in dire need of heightened attention and action around the climate crisis, particularly the way it manifests as environmental racism. By engaging in collective breath work and tending with delicate urgency to our inner worlds, climate activists can both build an inner resilience and tap into an energetic harmony with the earth in order to support their efforts at addressing these life threatening issues.”

This meditation course will center embodied wisdom around ecojustice, racial justice, and mindfulness. Anaïs will lead participants through a series of meditative postures, exercises, and knowledge sharing/production, guided by scholars and practitioners studied in these disciplines.

Through the series, the Center for the Humanities hopes to enact and advance new forms of creative, activist, and scholarly care that more effectively supports the people and organizations leading on the frontlines of climate change.

This meditation series is organized by the Center for the Humanities at the CUNY Graduate Center in collaboration with the NYC Climate Justice Hub, and Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative generously supported by Engaging the Senses Foundation.
