What is a Climate Café?
A Climate Café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears, uncertainties and grief about our climate & ecological crisis can be safely felt and expressed. The model is one which has been adapted from Death Cafés by Climate Psychology Alliance.
Why do we need Climate Café Listening Circles?
We need the kind of exploration that listening circles provide as it becomes more evident that climate and ecological breakdown are not far-away problems but a clear and present danger to our own safety and wellbeing. People increasingly need to talk about what our changing world means for them in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it constructively and clear-sightedly, and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be taboo and hard to talk about.
What happens during a Climate Café Listening Circle?
The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone.
The listening circle will be led by facilitators trained through Climate Psychology Alliance and our Community of Practice project, and is offered free of charge thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, distributed by Transition Together.
