Conscious Living Resources

As I’ve been on a continuing journey of discovery I have been scouring the internet and elsewhere for resources on how to better live in harmony with the Planet and take positive action.

This list will definitely grow and evolve over time as I keep doing research and learning, but here are some of the websites, blogs, Instagram pages, Facebook groups, books, articles, documentaries, and podcasts that I’ve discovered (and been recommended) and personally found very helpful. I’ve tried to categorize by media type, but all these sources have provided me with great resources and knowledge and I encourage you to check them all out as time permits and your interest grows. If you have other great resources, please share in the comment section so I can look up and add.
