Climate Chats is a facilitated workshop that will help you directly address your eco-distress in a supportive community of likeminded peers.
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 peer facilitated Climate Chats help you work through your big feelings of anxiety and eco-distress, and reconnect with taking action in your community.
Our goals for this peer-led session are to help you:
- Directly address and accept your feelings about the climate crisis
- 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
- Feel re-engaged with climate action
Doors at 6:00, session starts at 6:15pm.
Workshop is located in a wheelchair friendly venue near 106 street and 102 avenue. The exact address and access details will be emailed to you the day before the event. There is free parking! And an elevator!
