In summer, we transform.
This quarter we celebrate fire — the element that supports change.
Nurture Yourself
When we take care of ourselves, we create the space to take care of our Mama.
As the heat builds through the summer season, take some time to cool down and ease your mind with a short gentle movement practice.
Nurture Our Mama
Our habits shape our world. At Clay, we focus on making small changes that are sustainable to maintain, knowing that our collective actions make a difference. Learn about this month’s action and how to turn it into a habit.
One Small Action:
Become well-versed in a climate issue and its solutions.
Commit to becoming well-versed on a climate issue, as well as its potential solutions. Learning about a topic in full can enable us to make informed decisions in our lives, so we can actively work toward resolving the issue rather than contributing to it. Pick a climate topic that interests you, research a well-rounded source that will help you better understand the issue and start learning how to take action toward a cause you care about.
