Climate Anxiety & Creativity: Workshop with Kate Schapira
Monday, Sept 23rd, 2024  |  2:00 - 3:00PM PDT
Online Event  |  RSVP

Introduced by Bronwen Tate
Can we write our way out of the climate crisis? Not exactly—but imagining, discussing, recording and reimagining a livable present and future can expand our interest and flexibility, building us a vision to work toward and reasons to work toward it—even in the context of the climate realities we know. Bring your anxiety, rage, despair, apathy, or whatever other “climate emotions” you have! We’ll do some small exercises to carry those feelings, and collaborate on writing a future where they’re less necessary.

Registration is open to everyone, please RSVP if you wish to attend.
