& December 13
A collaboration between Century House and Beacon Unitarians - we welcome people of all faith traditions and philosophies to join us for these sessions, taking place at Century House Seniors Centre (620 8th Street, New Westminster, BC) and by Zoom.
Are you overwhelmed in the face of the climate crisis? Are you seeking a safer place to think about this existential threat and support in deciding how you feel about it? We offer a series of 4 sessions where we will collectively grapple with how to engage with these challenges, build resilience and explore how hope is nurtured and incorporated into our daily lives. We will be drawing from Elin Kelsey’s book Hope Matters: Why Changing the Way We Think is Critical to Solving the Environmental Crisis.
These 4 sessions will include:
Understanding and feeling our ecological grief
Processing our responses so we can gain access to our ecological joy
Learning strategies to shift perspectives and cultivate hope
Providing resources and support
Each session incorporates sharing, learning and experiencing through creativity and simple ritual. Sessions will give an opportunity to apply what we are learning and bring back insights to share at the next session.
Facilitated by Teresa Morton and Rev. Meg Roberts
