Thank you to our amazing PJI Summer Academy sponsors! Massey Services, Inc., Big Nova, Whole Life Church, Florida Blue, and Nemours Children's Health.

The PJI Summer Academy is a week-long intensive program designed to develop leaders who support learning environments and community resilience, including community organizations, early learning, K-12, colleges and universities.

This immersive cohort-based program supports professionals in reflecting on their lives and current practices with an eye to deepening equity in their hearts, minds, and community. Based on the latest neuroscience and data-informed practices, participants will explore topics such as resilience, reflective practice, trauma responsive practices, empathy, bias, mindfulness, and missing histories while also building relationships and community with others.

It's almost back to school! If you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, administrator, or friend to students join us for this session.

The Principles for How We Treat Each Other provides people with effective tools for engaging in difficult conversations, empathetic listening, perspective taking and relationship building. This workshop invites participants to place storytelling at the center of their work in order to develop authentic and meaningful relationships.

Join us for our bi-monthly Resilience Network Meeting, where community members from across sectors come together to learn, connect, and strengthen resilience.

This month's topic is: The Zia Symbol: A Timeless Blueprint for Resilience. Register to receive the zoom link: https://RNJ.eventbrite.com

Upon first glance, the Zia symbol—featured on the New Mexico state flag—may be appreciated as a striking design or a cultural emblem of the Southwest. Yet beneath its elegant simplicity lies a timeless philosophy that offers fresh perspectives on cultivating resilience, both personally and within our communities.

In this presentation, Andrea Fernandez invites participants to look beyond the symbol itself and explore how its enduring principles can inspire greater joy, personal resilience, and stronger communities. Rather than focusing only on history, this session offers an opportunity to reflect on what an ancient symbol might teach us about living well in today's world. Whether you are new to the Zia symbol or have seen it your entire life, you may discover a deeper meaning hidden in plain sight.
