For many people, the climate crisis is too big to truly contemplate for others, it takes up ever more head and heart space. As views harden, the state of nature becomes more deeply polarizing at a time when what is really needed is community.
Over the course of four 2 hour workshops, we offer a space to come together to explore personal and collective responses to our warming world. Through a mix of creativity, mindfulness, nature-based exercises and more, you will learn to share your hopes, fears and dreams in order to live more easily with them and with each other.
Please note these workshops consist of four 2-hour sessions. Due to the structure of the workshop, it is important that you are able to commit to all four sessions. This is also beneficial in terms of group dynamics.
