Climate Conversations: Wellbeing at work and in life with Michelle O’Sullivan & Fiona Martin

In a Climate Conversation people attend to share their feelings about the climate and ecological crisis – a thinking and feeling space, a haven from busyness and activity. We do this in a safe space, because sharing feelings in a supportive setting helps to build our resilience during this confusing and difficult time.

Instead of assuming that our anxiety will go away if we act, or assuming that embracing anxiety means accepting the planet's fate, research advocates for the creation of more safe spaces, platforms free of judgement with expectations of respect and a willingness to listen, where feelings can be shared and heard.

We have limited numbers to 12 participants supported by two facilitators.

This event is experiential. Explore how art can support and enhance a climate conversation. What to bring:

• your art/drawing materials
• a natural object or photo of a natural object that has meaning for you
• your cup of tea or coffee and cake or yummy treat snack to gather around the zoom screen

The duration is 90 minutes. 15 minutes at the end of the program will include reflection on how the drawing/art enhanced the experience of the Climate Conversation.
