Getting Messy in Messy Times with Climate Cafe PDX and Solarpunx PDX
Join us for a Climate Cafe, where we will share about our climate emotions and the state of the world, followed by seed bomb making with Solarpunx PDX.
FREE registration required (see below)!
What’s a seed bomb?
Seed bombs are compositions of seeds within a mixture of clay, soil and/or compost.The clay acts as a protective casing that shields the seeds from harsh environmental conditions while the compost provides nutrients to support seed germination and early plant growth.
WHAT (IS A CLIMATE CAFE)-An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency (i.e. a “container”).
Note: a Climate Cafe is NOT a clinical space, or a replacement for therapy.
WHO (IS HOSTING THIS CAFE)
My name is Rissa (she/her). I have years of experience facilitating groups in various settings, and have an interest in climate emotions, group support structures, and the intersection of systemic issues. I have been trained by Climate Psychology Alliance NA to facilitate climate cafes.
