An in-person, arts-based workshop for processing climate emotions through creativity, reflection, and community.
Our climate emotions can be wide-ranging, from anxiety about changing weather patterns to anger about government inaction and grief over biodiversity loss. These feelings can be difficult to carry alone. Join us for an arts-based workshop guided by local art therapists and climate-aware therapists, who will create a supportive space for expressing and processing climate emotions through creative practice.
