About Taking Care of Ourselves in Order to Take Care of the World
A workshop on climate emotions led by Professor Joan Gavaler
The event is free and open to all.
The workshop will be 12.30 to 1.30pm and followed by a free lunch at 1.30 to 2pm
This workshop uses contemplation, movement, and writing to process our responses to climate change and connect to the present moment. Participants explore pausing, sensing, rooting, and expanding. What personal and communal strength can we access to better face the realities of climate change? We acknowledge there are people and financial/political power structures that value extracting resources over human and planetary well-being. We acknowledge harm is inequitable and heartbreaking.
Gathering a critical mass of people toward healing action is an ongoing challenge.
Through this workshop we will embody the process of being present to care for ourselves, other people, and the world when things fall apart. We cultivate presence to respond flexibly to each moment, each need, and each opportunity to shift our society in a different direction.
Location: Boiler House, St Andrews Botanic Garden
