Resilience isn’t something we’re born with — it’s something we build, moment by moment, as our bodies and minds learn to adapt, heal, and reorganize in the face of challenges we never asked for but survived anyway. Too often, we mistake resilience for grit or willpower, when it’s actually a dynamic interplay between our biology, our environment, and the meaning we make of our experiences. In this talk, we explore the neuroscience of how we rise after hardship, the protective factors that help us not just recover but truly evolve, and the stories that shape our capacity to grow. At its core, this is a conversation about reclaiming our ability to bend without breaking — and rebuilding ourselves with greater wisdom, compassion, and connection. Kelley J. Minor, LGSW, is a clinical therapist, educator, and founder of Curiosity Collaborative LLC, specializing in trauma-informed care, attachment healing, and the neuroscience of human…

Creation Spirituality — A spiritual tradition that reconnects all the dots of everyday life in this generous, creative Universe. Creation Spirituality, with its emphasis on Original Blessing and the four paths of the Via Positiva, Via Negativa, Via Creativa and Via Transformativa, celebrates joy and our sensory/sensual experiences; honors grief, silence and darkness; awakens / acknowledges our creativity and inner artist; and calls us to social and ecological justice. CS provides a vocabulary for naming and framing our lives, and views our spiritual and earthly experiences as one, not as the “sacred and profane.” Drawing inspiration from the mystical traditions of world religions, wisdom of Indigenous peoples, insights from science and cosmology, and the real world experiences of all human and non-human beings, Creation Spirituality invites back into harmony all that has been alienated by dualistic, patriarchal religions and human institutions. Richie Townsend is a musician, tai chi / qigong…
