While digging deeper into how to best articulate this character, the two concepts that resonated most with me were:
connectedness
mindful practice
Connectedness refers to a broad range – self, purpose, meaning, community,…, etc. Your sense of connectedness impacts mental health, life satisfaction, resilience in adversity,…, etc.
Mindful practice refers to the tools and activities one uses to cultivate their attitudes, mindsets, spirituality, connectedness,…,.. etc.
Salamanders symbolize:
Rebirth & regeneration
Transformation & metamorphosis
Sunny the salamander got the nod to represent the ‘mindful practitioner’ journey.
