The art of resilience: nurturing practices for flourishing
Tuesday 20 July, 7.30pm
In our lives and in our local communities (not to mention the wider world) we can easily be overwhelmed by the scale of the social, economic and environmental changes that face us. How do we build resilience as individuals and families? How do we develop and nurture resilience in our communities? We will consider how to understand some of the challenges that we face, and what we can do to nurture personal and community resilience and thriving
Alex Ellish has been part of Urban Expression teams since 2009, first in Tower Hamlets and now living with her family on an outer-city housing estate in East London.
Alexandra helps to co-ordinate Urban Expression, and also works with the Mennonite Trust and Anabaptist Network as a development worker. Alexandra’s work is mainly concerned with engaging younger adults and activists who are interested in following Jesus in a peace-making tradition, and building closer relationships with organisations that are committed to non-violence and social justice.
