Talking about hope, despair and everything in between
Details
And we're back! Thanks for your patience since the last conversation. Can't wait to talk to you all again in this next one. (As before, more sessions will be scheduled at differing times and days of the week so if you can't make this one, keep an eye out for more coming soon)
Talking about the climate crisis, about covid, and all our coalescing crises can bring up a whole spectrum of emotions. And as human beings, we are capable of feeling conflicting emotions at the same time. Hope is not the absence of despair, happiness is not the absence of sadness, compassion is not the absence of anger and frustration. We are such complex emotional beings and we're only now starting to learn how to really embrace that.
So in this session we will explore together how we talk about all these varied emotional responses to a world in crisis and how we invite others into that complexity. How do we hold space for ourselves and others to grow emotionally?
I know many of you have been working on emotional wellbeing so do please bring your own stories, wisdom and intuition. xxx
ABOUT THE MEETUPS>>>
These meetups are a safe facilitated space to work through our conversational stuck points, practice new ways of talking about our world, our future, and unlearn old ideas about how we create change - in ourselves and in others. Please come ready to listen to the perspectives of others with compassion and respect.
