Do you feel overwhelmed by the environmental crises? Worry about biodiversity loss? Feel anger towards the slow pace of climate action? Or maybe you are awe-inspired by technological advances and local action that make a difference?
The Graduate School’s Office of Wellbeing is hosting a series of Climate Cafés - safe spaces to express and process emotions around climate change and environmental crises more broadly. Trained facilitators will guide a small group conversation, allowing all reactions that come up to be expressed in a safe space. The primary purpose of these spaces is emotional expression and processing, not solutions/ actions to take because sometimes, in order to know how best to move forward, we need to process how we feel.For those interested in learning about actions that can be taken, we will also be offering a follow-up session on climate action in February. Details will be shared at a later date with participants of the Climate Cafés.
Space is limited, so please register if you want to attend. There will be two in-person and two virtual sessions, one of each this semester, and one of each early in the new year. There will be hot cocoa and tea at the in-person sessions.
