Climate Cafes are a place to process climate-related emotions with people in our community. Free and open to all. Masks are required and provided.

WHAT (IS A CLIMATE CAFE)

-An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency (i.e. a “container”).

-A space for exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences rather than what we are DOING about the climate crisis.

-A quiet, reflective experience – a haven from usual busyness and activity.

Note: a Climate Cafe is NOT a clinical space, or a replacement for therapy.

WHO (IS HOSTING THIS CAFE)

My name is Rissa (she/her). I have years of experience facilitating groups in various settings, and have an interest in climate emotions, group support structures, and the intersection of systemic issues.

I have been trained by Climate Psychology Alliance NA to facilitate climate cafes, although they are not an endorser of this event.
