A place to process climate related emotions with people in our community. Free and open to all.**Masks provided and required**
Our kickoff topic is: Spring. Seasons shifting and pesticides are both affecting what we know as Spring, causing negative impacts to humans and non-human animals.
How does it feel to notice these seasonal changes? How do you generally handle change? Does it bring up worry, anxiety, anger, or something else?
💚 WHAT (IS A CLIMATE CAFE)
-An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency (i.e. a “container”).
-A space for exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences rather than what we are DOING about the climate crisis.
-A quiet, reflective experience - a haven from usual busyness and activity.
Note: a Climate Cafe is NOT a clinical space, or a replacement for therapy.
