Join us for our next gathering! Participants will have the opportunity to touch into their climate emotions, listen to others, and build connections within our community. Let's come together to support each other and navigate our emotions in the face of climate change. Each gathering will include centering practices, guided exercises, skill training and group sharing. They are stand alone experiences, so come to one or both. The gatherings welcome especially those working on the climate crisis and need understanding and solidarity to access the energy to keep doing this work.

Circle Hosts/Facilitators

Kady Cowan - Kady has worked at the intersection of health systems, decarbonization and culture change for over 20 years in North America and Globally. Kady’s EcoSystem based practice amplifies impact with creative and inclusive strategies and tactics for individuals and groups to embrace new ways of knowing. She helps others act in alignment with their values by creating the conditions for organizational learning, regeneration and multi-solving to emerge.  Kady is the Founder and Circle Keeper of the Climate Sanctuary.

Susan Bakshi - As an environmental advocate and community engagement facilitator, I am increasingly aware of how important it is that the emotional impact of climate change be processed, understood and shared in supported spaces. Without properly resourced groups climate advocates are more likely to suffer from anxiety, overwhelm & burnout at a time when their work is critical to climate action. 

Annette Dubreuil - Annette is Embodied Creativity Facilitator, Coach and Focusing Teacher. The climate emotions space feels like my calling. Focusing (Eugene Gendlin’s practice to access the felt sense and get its meaning) is a beautiful communal grieving process that can hold and transmute our emotions to create space for knowing how we want to live differently (being) and what is ours to do (action).
