Held at Commonweal in Bolinas, California, Healing Systems is a weekend-long gathering of leaders in the health and climate fields who explore how to integrate healing into their respective strategies, organizations, and movements.  The X-Grant supports a public conversation during the gathering, led by MacArthur Fellows Michael Lerner (1984) and Gary Cohen (2015), who will discuss themes and ideas that emerge from the convening about how leaders can both bolster their own resilience and support the broader ecosystem of health and climate advocates.
