Workshop: From Climate Anxiety to Action: Cultivating a Radical Imagination for the Future
February 10, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
$95- gain tools to name and work through feelings of climate anxiety,
- identify tangible solutions,
- practice imagining a future worth fighting for through a hands-on design exercise that they can replicate at home and in their classroom or community.
By understanding the possibilities of a radical imagination at a local scale, we can help those engaged in climate work to stay grounded, recharged, and motivated as they fight for larger-scale issues.
