Climate Grief, Anxiety, and Hope Ritual: A Space for Your Feelings about the Climate Crisis
**Due to scheduling and interest level, we've moved this event to Saturday, June 7. Sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/climate-grief-anxiety-and-hope-ritual-tickets-1313767436769?aff=oddtdtcreator **
With the accelerated pace of the climate crisis and political and economic turmoil, how do we practice staying present, active, and awake? Joanna Calabrese and Emily Fasten, licensed psychotherapists in the SF Bay Area, will facilitate the Truth Mandala. This two-hour ritual, created by Buddhist ecologist and activist Joanna Macy, offers us a space for deep feeling and interpersonal connection and helps us cultivate the will to take action on ecological collapse and the climate crisis. We are thrilled to offer a respite from the constant and very important “doing,” inviting a space to come into “being” with the grief, full complexity, and emotional charge of this moment. The Center SF offers us a welcoming and supremely comfortable venue for this vital work. Join us!
