Question 1

Will I have to speak?

Accepted Answer

No. Everyone is welcome to speak but you may not feel ready - and that's OK. The main thing is that you listen deeply to others when they are sharing their stories.

Question 2

Will people discuss my contribution?

Accepted Answer

No. We will thank you and take a moment to absorb,  but no-one will give advice or question you. This is not a discussion group where people may debate facts, or offer opinion. Instead it's a place where you simply share your own story and people listen attentively and respectfully.

Question 3

How many people will be in the group?

Accepted Answer

Probably about 8 and no more than 10.

Question 4

Will the session be recorded or shared afterwards in any way.

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 5

Where will the people attending be from?

Accepted Answer

I am based in Scotland and it's likely that most people will be from here but as it's online people may join from anywhere. It will be conducted in English.

Question 6

What exactly is climate or environmental grief?

Accepted Answer

Different people have different perspectives. In general it's the emotional reaction you have in response to environmental loss. Maybe something specific and local like the loss of a green space in a town. Or it could be something much more global like the extinction of entire species.

Question 7

Do I have to pay?

Accepted Answer

No. Registration is  by voluntary donation. I use a “dana economy” way to charge for these. This is a Buddhist term that means that I offer my services in facilitating the session for free. But you are welcome to offer a donation to help cover the costs of my time.

Question 8

How long will it last?

Accepted Answer

It depends a little on what people want to say. Probably around an hour but it might be a bit shorter or longer. But I will draw it to a close when it reaches 90 minutes.
