Climate Cafés are a space to share thoughts and feelings about the climate crisis in community. Climate Cafes are not action oriented; they're not about shifting the outcome or figuring out what to "do." Rather, they're an opportunity to build an ecosystem of community, to cultivate resilience, and to continue to meet the unknown future from a place of connection - to self, community, and earth. All are welcome. Program leader Hannah Smith holds a Masters in Social Work as well as an Advanced Certificate in Ecotherapy. Learn more about Climate Cafes at www.climate.cafe.
