Speaker Bio:
Sami Aaron is the founder of the nonprofit, The Resilient Activist, a community resource for those who are fearful, anxious, fatigued or overwhelmed about the climate crisis.The inspiration for developing The Resilient Activist was the increasing prevalence of emotional distress directly related to climate disruption and environmental devastation. Sami experienced this on a personal level with the 2003 suicide of her son, an environmental activist, who became overwhelmed by the extent of global environmental destruction.
In August 2019, Sami became a Climate Reality Leader, part of a group of thousands of volunteers in 126 countries around the globe who have been personally trained by former US Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore to educate the public about climate change.
Her experience as an Extension Master Naturalist has broadened her understanding of the interconnectivity between nature and humanity, with an eye towards restoration and protection of natural areas and the wildlife that inhabits it.
Sami is a yoga and meditation teacher who focuses on the emotional and physical benefits of time spent in nature and the important connection we humans have with the natural world.
Through Sami’s studies in meditation, yoga nidra (yoga sleep), yoga for trauma, nature-connected teachings, and the benefits of her own time spent in nature, along with her desire to guide others into a life rich in nature connection, she has created The Resilient Activist programs to build a community that will nurture, uplift, and support those who strive to live in conscious harmony with Earth.
