Climate Cafe

A Climate Café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears, uncertainties and grief about our climate & ecological crisis can be safely felt and expressed. The model used is one which has been adapted from Death Cafes by Climate Psychology Alliance.

This Climate Café is for anyone aged 18 or over.

We need the kind of exploration that Climate Cafés provide as it becomes more evident that climate and ecological breakdown are not far-away problems but a clear and present danger to our own safety and wellbeing. People increasingly need to talk about what our changing world means for them in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it constructively and clear-sightedly, and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be taboo and hard to talk about.

Climate Cafés are listening circles. The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone.

This Climate Café will be led by facilitators trained through Climate Psychology Alliance and our Community of Practice project, and is offered free of charge thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, distributed by Transition Together.

This Climate Café is being held at 36a St Austell Street, Truro, SE1 1SE. This is a short walk from the shoppers' car park.

The Climate Café will run from 2-4pm. Please note, this is a held space (rather than a drop-in session). Please gather at 2pm, ready to start the Climate Café at 2.25 once everyone has settled in.
