About this Event
Do you see the terrifying outcomes that are already happening to our neighbours and think “this is hopeless, what could I possibly do”? Do your feelings overwhelm you when talking to others about the climate emergency? Do you feel disengaged from climate action?
Presented by Waste Free Edmonton and Not Ladylike Community, our community centered Climate Chats work directly with attendees to work through your big feelings of anxiety and eco-distress, and re-ignite hope in the possibility of a brighter future.
Our goals for this peer-led session are to help you:
- Process your anxiety and eco-distress
- Recognize the community you are building and craft deeper connections to each other
- Discover and access the internal mechanisms that keep you motivated
- Build your tolerance for guilt, shame, anxiety
- Cultivate your imagination, creativity, hopefulness
- Practice heart-centered and confident dialogue
- Ignite your self-compassion
- Directly address and accept your feelings about the climate crisis
- Feel re-engaged with climate action
