Lauren Hage (she/her) is Executive Director and co-founder of the Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education, an educational nonprofit that encourages the study and practice of “Earth Intimacy”, “Co-Liberation”, “Embodiment”, and “Prayerful Action” as key approaches for addressing the social and ecological crises of our times. She is also a certified facilitator of the somatics-based body of work called The Resilience Toolkit. Grounded in theory and a social justice context, The Resilience Toolkit promotes embodied self-awareness, nervous system and emotional regulation, and interpersonal connection.

Her work and play are an expression of her prayer for eco-social co-liberation.
