  • Meditation for Changemakers
    9 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    All the people I know actively involved in sustainability are overwhelmed and stressed but mysteriously loaded with good energy and enthusiasm.
    On this road, meditation is an amazing tool to relax and re-harmonize deeply. I haven’t followed any meditation session led by Roshnii Yuta Chou yet but she’s part of the Changemakers network (more soon) and she’s very motivated to contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
