The Mind is the Environment

The Mind is the Environment

The Mind is the Environment is an abstract 5 to 8-minute animated short exploring the connection between mindfulness, consciousness, and climate action. Created by POW Creative Alliance member Nico Schiavone, the film blends surreal, dreamlike visuals with poetic storytelling to show how being present can reconnect us to nature and inspire change. The animation is equal parts meditative and mind-bending, inviting viewers to step out of constant thought and into deeper connection. By merging art, philosophy, and climate awareness, the project reminds us that the environment isn’t something separate from us; it’s something we are, and something we can protect together. The Mind is the Environment is expected to be released in spring 2026.
