Resilience is more than the ability to bounce back from adversity. It is a transformative process that reveals our inherent nobility, a rite of passage from pieces to peace. Resilient people face reality head-on, take action, find deeper meaning in life, laugh often, and are masters of improvisation. The good news is that resilience isn’t a genetic gift for the lucky few. Modern psychology and neuroscience have clearly identified seven attitudes and practices that support resilience. Both adults and children can learn these skills and help bring one another and our planet through the challenging times we live in. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the lecture participants will be able to: 1. Define resilience as a transformative process 2. Explain liminality as the time between no longer and not yet. 3. List 7 skills that foster the development of resilience in a liminal time
