Beyond Caring: Inaugural Meeting (Climate Change)

## 🌱 Inaugural Meeting

### Moving Beyond Gridlock: When Caring Alone Isn’t Working

Many people care deeply about climate change — and still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move without harming their lives or relationships.
This first gathering isn’t about solutions or action plans. It’s about naming the gridlock itself — together — without blaming individuals or forcing outcomes.

What we’ll do

• Briefly orient to why caring so often stalls before action
• Reflect in small groups on lived moments of gridlock
• Notice shared patterns without trying to fix them
• Gently introduce one interpretive lens from the Triadic Recovery Series
• Share reflections as a whole group

What this is not

• Not a debate
• Not therapy
• Not a workshop or call to action

No prior reading. No pressure to agree, disclose, or decide what comes next.

This meeting is about regaining footing, not being pushed forward.
