European Union parliament meditating in response to climate crisis (article)

[Kokuu]

Dear all

This is an interesting development that European Union bureaucrats are being taught to meditate as part of dealing with the climate crisis.

EU officials working on the 27-country bloc’s green deal climate policy are attending “inner green deal” courses intended to foster a deeper connection among decision-makers and negotiators tasked with tackling the crisis. The courses incorporate woodland walks near Brussels and meditation sessions, including one that invites participants to feel empathy for trees and animals to boost “environmental compassion”.

Perhaps they should do Kinhin (i.e. walk the talk) too, once in a while .

Well, anything that can keep politicians' mouths closed for half an hour will reduce the amount of "hot air" in the atmosphere greatly.

(Sorry, I could not resist)

I don't know how much something like this will be helpful in tackling a tough problem like climate change, but certainly it may be helpful and positive somewhat, and it certainly cannot hurt.
