A BOOK
AwareNearth is collaborating with more than 50 contributors and the artist Nat Cardozo to create Resilience, a groundbreaking book that navigates the 17 existential threats facing our world through the ancient art of pyrography (wood-burning).
Resilience serves as a profound visual and intellectual compass of our most pressing global challenges. By using fire to etch these stories into wood, the project mirrors the raw, transformative nature of the threats we face, turning anxiety into a foundation for strength.

HOLISTIC LOOK AT THE THREATS
This isn't just a book, it’s a traveling catalyst for change. By bringing these discussions into public spaces, Resilience aims to bridge the gap between scientific data and emotional connection, fostering the vital change in mindset required to navigate the 21st century.
Our goal is to transform fear into agency, inviting the world to look directly at these challenges and find the collective resilience to overcome them.
