The New Agrarian Toolkit: A Webinar Series to Dig Deep and Level Up – #6. Life Hacks for the Long Haul: Emotional Wellness for Agrarians and their Communities
September 13, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us for part 6 of the Toolkit Series!
Quivira Coalition’s New Agrarian Program is delighted to invite you to The New Agrarian Toolkit: A Webinar Series to Dig Deep and Level Up. Inspired by beginning agrarian input and years of conversations with folks like you, we’ve designed this webinar series for our program alumni as well as any beginning agrarians seeking community in diving deeper into these topics. Bring your stories, your hard questions, and maybe dinner if you’re catching us right after work. We’ll see you there!
For the last installment of the Toolkit series, we hope you will join us for a presentation and group conversation about how we stay healthy and well amidst current stressors and struggles of working in agriculture. How do you deal with the chronic stressors that are in and out of your control? What are your strongest protective factors? How does community, connection and isolation impact us? How do we show up for ourselves and our neighbors when times are tough and going well? We’ll also explore and discuss tools for maintaining physical and mental wellness.
Please bring paper and a pencil or pen.
