Climate Chats - March 6
2024-03-06 18:30 - 20:30 | Stanley A. Milner Library, 7 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB T5J 2V4, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Do you feel disengaged from climate action? 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?”
Our community centered Climate Chats work directly with attendees to re-engage with local climate action, work through your big feelings of anxiety, grief and sadness, and re-ignite hope in the possibility of a brighter future.
What is Climate Chats?
Climate Chats is a small-group workshop that will help you directly address your climate grief and anxiety. Throughout our evening together, our Climate Chats facilitator will guide you through various exercises designed to help you explore and name your big feelings, practice listening, and tap into your values to plan your next action.
Working in community allows us to:

engage with our feelings and climate action in a safe and supported environment
get some external accountability and ideas to help realign our actions with our environmental values
practice having difficult conversations
