A personal resilience practice.
Why should we uncover our feelings? We will talk about it.
This is NOT group therapy. It is an opportunity to dig in, ask questions and feel community connection with other concerned folx. Saying the quiet part out loud is empowering.
Climate Circles are a system of clima-unity.
Coming together in a Climate Cafe like this, gives each participant a chance to simply listen to perspectives of others. How does the changing climate, and everything before it, during, and the aftermath of its wrath— how do each of us take this into our continuum of understanding the natural and built world.
Chaos of the world
It affects us deeply, personally, and we cannot really share too openly (sometimes) with others. The Circle gives us a chance to practice our coping skills and uncover strength in a small circle of others that "get it".
