Climate Cafe - Saturday December 9th 2023
Do you find it difficult to cope with your feelings around climate change, and find yourself retreating into despair or denial, and the hope that maybe someone somewhere will sort it all out? Climate change is an existential threat that is very hard to cope with, but the first step is to connect to our feelings about it. This workshop is a gentle exploration of being with these difficult feelings, together, without a need to rush to action.
The session will start at 2pm at the Friends Meeting House, Queen's Road, Ilkley, LS29 9QJ. It'll last about an hour followed by refreshments (and cake). It is facilitated by Quakers Kate Graham and Joanne Cremins, based on a model developed by the Climate Psychology Alliance. It is free, and everyone is welcome, though please book in advance here or email Kate at kate@helpfultherapy.co.uk.
