York Climate Listening Circle - Outdoors in the Park

A small gathering where emotions about our climate crisis can be felt and shared in a safe space, over a warm drink or piece of cake.
About this Event

A climate listening circle is a small gathering of up to around 10 people which offers a place where fears, uncertainties and hopes about our climate crisis can be safely expressed (over a hot drink or piece of cake!). It's a confidential, respectful, thinking and feeling space where people can meet with others and talk informally about what climate change and the ecological crisis means for them, perhaps find common ground, and listen to others' diverse experiences and feelings. There are a lot of these groups now in cities across the UK, and we have recently set up a monthly York Climate Listening Circle in association with Planet South Bank. The groups run using the model developed by the Climate Psychology Alliance, which has provided training to our facilitators.

This month’s event will be held in Rowntree park, meet at the Dovecot outside the cafe at 7pm and make sure to wrap up warm! If you can bring your own mug that would be great, but we will have some spares.

Please try to arrive on time since we will do an introduction to set up the space at the beginning of the session.
