​Climate Composure Circle TOPICS peer-group meeting.

​We will seek to understand The Big Picture. Why should we acknowledge our feelings about climate change?

​All things, human made, and living organisms, even space, is all made of "systems" and if you think about it, a system is a group of things that in some way could be inter-related or connected. When we think about climate change, as you know, it's a system too. Systems thinking, as its called, can be a tangled ball of holiday lights in the attic, but it doesn't have to be.

​Climate Circles are a system of clima-unity.

​Coming together in a Circle like this, gives each participant a chance to simply listen to perspectives of others. How does the changing climate, and everything before it, during, and the aftermath of its wrath— how do each of us take this into our continuum of understanding the natural and built world?

​Thinkers and the curious all welcome.

​You don't need to be an academic or earning 6 figures to see that everything is connected, you just need an open mind.

​In community, we learn.

​Climate Emotions Circles like this one, are a safe space to listen, share (or not) to better understand how the climate drama is manifesting in your own way of thinking. Climate change is a big deal, and hopefully, participating in this Circle, you can begin to unravel that box of holiday lights.

​The Big Picture. Why should we acknowledge our feelings about climate change?

​The short answer: To avoid burnout. To find our strength. To put on our oxygen mask before attempting to help others.
