water you waiting for? act night for nature-based solutions (dinner provided)

​How can we borrow nature’s playbook to build a more resilient future? This month’s ACT Night includes a special guest who is putting nature-based solutions into action.

​🌿 Pam Emerson, an urban ecological designer who works on long-term water resilience as a green infrastructure planner with Seattle’s public water utility. She will introduce us to a couple ‘biomimicry’ concepts and then invite us to explore how we might apply this lens to whatever climate resilience design questions we are engaged with or curious about.

​After some introductions, we’ll roll up our sleeves with action stations including guided activities and discussions to imagine how these ideas can ripple through our own lives and communities.

​The plan:

• ​6~6:45pm: eat plant-based dinner and yap

• ​6:45-7:30pm: affinity activity to calibrate where we're at and what's possible

• ​7:30-8:30pm: action stations!

• ​8:30-9pm: casual mingling and/or continued action stations

​Please try to arrive by about 6:30pm so you'll have time to grab food before the programming begins.

​No experience needed; just bring yourself, and optionally: a friend, tupperware, and a water bottle! If you're biking, you can stash your bike in the gallery.

​Request a reparative ticket here if needed.

​This space is hosted by Soapbox Project, a nonprofit that creates joyful community structures to heal our climate anxiety and loneliness through expertly facilitated connection, learning, and action activities. Find your place in the climate movement with our online and in-person community!
