Apocalypse. Ecocide. Armageddon. Annihilation. No wonder we feel frightened and overwhelmed by the enormity of climate change. And no wonder those of us who have been working for decades on these issues feel frustrated at the continued apathy, complacency, and inadequacy of the response in our wider culture and government.

Tallessyn Zawn Grenfell-Lee, PhD, is a Climate Chaplain and Coach who helps communities wrap their minds around the grief, fear, rage, and overwhelm associated with climate change, such that they can move toward a place of Grounded Focus. Using tools from secular and faith traditions as well as ethics, social psychology, and project management, she outlines strategies to build a Resilience Mindset. This mindset provides a foundation that enables us to process the enormity of this challenge as we participate in sustained practices of healing and strategic engagement.
