What if the calm you cultivate in yourself could ripple out to shift families, workplaces, and even the health of our planet? In this episode of The Mindful Journey with host Sana, guest Clara Schroeder explores how mindfulness practices rooted in nature can create both personal and collective resilience. Drawing from her lived experience as a meditator, eco-therapist, and author of Re-Nature, Clara shows us how awareness is more than a personal tool—it’s a pathway to community strength and planetary care. From trauma recovery to teaching leaders and communities, she shares why mindful presence isn’t just self-care, but world-care.
This conversation is direct, reflective, and practical—reminding us that mindfulness doesn’t have to be lofty or reserved for retreats. Instead, it can be 30 seconds between Zoom meetings or a quiet moment noticing a single tree on a busy street.
