Climate Cafe

What emotions come up when you think about the climate crisis? Perhaps you feel sadness, guilt, apathy, numbness, frustration, anger, overwhelm, a combination of these, or entirely different emotions altogether. Whatever your emotional response, you are welcome to a climate café to talk about it.

A climate café is a brave, supportive, and confidential space for participants to share our responses to the climate crisis. Climate cafés focus on feelings; no feeling is too difficult or taboo to discuss. Participants are invited to share as much or as little as they are comfortable with.

What a climate café is:

• A brave and supportive space for participants to vocalize their experiences and emotions surrounding the climate crisis
• An opportunity for participants to feel heard and validated, regardless of their emotional response
• A confidential space

What a climate café is not:

• A place to plan upcoming actions
• A place to debate climate science or challenge the validity of lived experience
• A group discussion about ongoing climate issues
