Note: Throughout this module, when we speak of ourselves, we are referring to ourselves as plural “us” and will be inviting us to think about how to work towards collective sustainability.

Let's begin this module by taking a “mindful moment” to ground our intentions. Statistically, many people doing this training have gone through some sort of trauma.  As you are going through this training please be mindful of your responses. Let's start by taking a deep breath. It is OK to stop anytime you want, take a break, stretch, walk around.

Be mindful. Take a deep breath.
Take good care of yourself
