I’m please to share I will be a guest, offering a focusing practice, at Kady Cowan’s next Climate Tic TALK Circle.
Description
It is often said that action is the antidote to climate emotions. But how do we get into action? Annette will share her PUPA process, a crossing of Eugene Gendlin's Focusing practice, with Otto Scharmer's Theory U and Richard Schwart's 8 C qualities of Self-leadership. The PUPA process allows us to notice where we are in our process, so that we can acknowledge and spend time with what we need: digesting our emotions, finding a creative spark, preparing for action and finally moving into action. And we do so all in the safe container (pupa/chrysalis/cocoon) of embodiment, that enables this transformation. In this session, Annette will lead a Focusing exercise to help you become more aware of what your process needs now, and what your body suggests as your "just right next step."

About this Event
Join our circle for FREE
Are you experiencing societal grief, distress, anxiety, trauma about global CLIMATE CHANGE?
Want to FEEL. SHARE. UNITE. ACT. with like minded others?
Our circle is hosted in service to those working on this topic who want to both offer and need support in these extraordinary times. Hosts are volunteers from environmental and social not-for-profits and small businesses. People who are feeling the enormity of this crisis and the inadequacy of the collective response. Together we are creating a sanctuary and new climate 'rituals' that help build personal resilience so we are able to continue to face the ongoing threats to our shared sustainable future.
What to expect at the Climate Tic TALK Circle:
No prep, no advice, come as you are.
Our circle is not recorded - turning video on is encouraged.
We are creating a safe meeting place together. This includes: being yourself, listening, sharing, connecting, non-judgement, inclusivity, patience, and speaking in the first person (e.g. 'I' statements).
We do not focus on providing solutions, answers or advice.
This work is never 'done' and we won't always get to resolve in our time together.
We do not provide clinical support (we can direct people to resources).
We make room for whatever emotions bubble up (e.g. tears, anger, humour…love).
The open and exploratory dialogue is enveloped in a restorative opening and closing of the circle. We have prompts, topics and activities to get things going as needed, including a combination of poem - prayer - music - moment of silence - movement - a reading…
Please note our circle does not provide clinical advice.
We look forward to welcoming you into our circle for the first or tenth time
