About the event

Imaging, meditative practice and mindful storytelling in a group of like-minded people in the community. Not a lecture, not group therapy, this is a listening and sharing informal and small gathering.

​A peer support circle, share or just observe.

​​​”The world hasn’t ended, but the world as we know it has–even if we don’t quite know it yet.” Bill McKibben, founder of 350 .org and Second Act.

​​The Big Picture. Why should we acknowledge our feelings about climate change?

​​The short answer: To avoid burnout. To find our strength. To put on our oxygen mask before attempting to help others.

​Climate Circles are a system of clima-unity.
