We believe that building resilience includes taking care of ourselves to ensure we can stay with the trouble in the long run. 

For this reason, our team is taking a two-week collective break to rest and recharge, returning Monday, August 17. 

We recognize many don't share this privilege, but encourage everyone confronting and living through the polycrisis to step back when they can to care for their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. 

Rest builds resilience. Thank you for your support. 

The Post Carbon Institute Team
