Climate Cafe, Poetry & Art at the Climate Imaginarium on Governors Island

Join us on Governors Island for a kid-friendly afternoon of art and poetry, meditation, and a meaningful conversation on climate emotions! This event is a collaboration with Climate Cafe NYC and mental health professionals from the Climate Mental Health Network, Climate Psychology Alliance, Climate Emotional Resilience Institute, and Integrative Creative Arts Therapy.

Please bring your own cup if you would like coffee or tea. We suggest a $5 donation to help us keep hosting more cafes, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
