An online space to share eco-anxiety and climate distress, to practice deep listening with others who share similar struggles. The Community Climate Circle is a calm, gentle online space, guided by trauma-informed coach and ecotherapist Kathryn Sheridan. It is a place to share our emotions and feelings about the Climate and Ecological Emergency, not a space for practical solutions or policy discussions.
Welcome to our monthly climate cafes: a chance to share our feelings about the climate crisis and related topics, and build resilience together. In climate cafés, people don’t only talk about climate. It’s all linked: war, climate and ecological crisis, cost of living and social polarisation. 🌞 A break from climate action or worries ☕️No talks, no advice ❤️ A thinking and feeling space with trained facilitators #️⃣ Come to one café or many 😎 No need to book – just arrive at the start time (but if you’d like to let us know you’re coming, drop us an email) Everyone is welcome (16+), and there’s no charge. This climate café is hosted by Low Carbon East Oxford and run by Oxfordshire Climate Cafés.
Perhaps you have begun to worry about what is happening to our climate and what this might mean for you and your family and friends, also for other species. The focus of discussion in an Eco-Climate Circle is participants’ immediate thoughts and feelings, rather than what we are doing (or not doing) about it. In a word we make space for the trouble, instead of merely wishing it away. It is a simple, friendly hospitable space where fears, uncertainties and other difficult feelings can be safely expressed and acknowledged. This allows for a conversation without pre-set themes or objectives in mind, other than how you are affected by the climate emergency and related biodiversity crises. Eco-Climate Circles are facilitated by Guy Gladstone and Jack Broadley of The Climate Psychology Alliance. For more information and to reserve places, call Guy on 01323 891 097.
Climate Cafes are welcoming and supportive spaces to gather to share our experiences of living in a time of environmental crisis through conversation and creative processes. It is for people who are concerned about the state of the planet, who may feel grief and other emotions, and who are looking for support within community. Everyone is welcome to this conversation, and all experiences of how the changing climate affects how we feel are valid. These are small group conversations for up to 16 participants, facilitated each time by a different practitioner. People who attend do not have to talk; sitting and listening is welcome. Refreshments provided.
A supportive group space where people can come together to share their feelings about the climate and ecological crises. Join us upstairs at the Steam Crane for a climate cafe listening circle - a space to share thoughts and feelings about the climate and nature crises. There are no special guests or speeches, and nobody gives advice. We just listen to each other and share our own experience. Sometimes it's hard to talk about these things because they can bring up a lot of difficult feelings - a climate cafe listening circle provides the opportunity to talk about these feelings and thoughts in a safe and supportive environment with two facilitators We meet once a month. It's free to attend and you can buy a drink at the bar to bring upstairs. Please arrive on time! This is in order to make the group a safe and comfortable space for talking about things that can feel difficult, so that we don't have interruptions once the session has begun. This climate cafe is offered in collaboration with the South Bristol Climate Hub.
