Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet – eroding, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. So what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience and change?

We might spend a little less time on earth than rocks and mountains, but we humans also undergo the experience of change, evolving against the shifting climate of our lives and experiences. Now geologist turned psychotherapist Ruth Allen joins us to share the lessons we can learn from the earth about grounding and recovery.

In this livestream talk, Ruth will explore our connection to these enduring forms and show us how geology can offer a new way of thinking about change, grief and boundaries. Join us for this evocative exploration which will show why the ground beneath our feet is the key to revealing lessons about our human selves and the world we live in.

Tickets to this livestream event are free for members of How To +.
