Topic: Our Body as Earth, Earth as Our Body: From Nurturing Our Mother to Facing Her Distress in an Interconnected World

About Shakti Bell
Half a lifetime ago, Shakti had a promising career in the film industry when she was diagnosed with a debilitating chronic illness that would change the course of her life. After spending over a decade receiving help from others, she let her experiences inform her to begin serving others. In 2009 she became an accessible yoga teacher, sharing the practice with others living with similar illness. This eventually led her to become a yoga therapist, trained to share the modalities of the practice with a wide range of challenges. Now she shares a meditation practice with people living with chronic illness and disability and is close to completing a buddhist eco-chaplaincy program. This training is preparing her to further widen the populations she can serve as the world submerges into the unprecedented chaos of global warming.
