Climate Conversations 6th April

Living in the climate crisis is stressful. The problem is so big and urgent it can be overwhelming. It’s complicated, and it can be hard to know what to think or what to do.

We use our personal experiences, together with information and ideas from professionals, experts and others to support each other as we come to terms with the climate crisis, figuring out how to cope and what we can do to fix it.

In this meeting we’re going to be thinking about what it’s like to know about the climate crisis, for each of us personally. There’ll be a chance to talk about our own experiences and to listen to others stories. We’ll be looking at a way of visualising the process of becoming aware of the ecological crisis, and finding a way to cope and adjust to see if it helps us.

There’s no need to do any reading or preparation before the meeting, unless it helps you. If you’d like to you can see the slides we’ll be using here. Don’t worry if anything is unfamiliar or hard to understand. We always take our time to figure it out together. The group is very relaxed and friendly.

The plan:

• Introductions, peer support and how the group works
• Discussion: Coping and changing in response to the climate crisis
• Action plans: what they’re for and updates
• Making our personal Action Plans
• Choosing a topic for next time.
