How to get started with individual climate action AND look after your wellbeing whilst doing so. Led by an experienced facilitator, Elisabeth Goodman-Spain.

Free event, but donations appreciated.

Human-made climate change, and associated impacts on nature and on our way of life are very real and very present. Yet, this is still a subject that many people find difficult to face or talk about with those around them.  It can be equally difficult to choose where to begin to take action, let alone feel confident that such action will have sufficient impact. The net result can be isolating and overwhelming. This interactive seminar is an opportunity to air and hear your fears voiced with and by others, through small group discussion and reflection in pairs and individually. It will enable you to explore how to begin positive action in a way that gives you meaning, connects you with others and also nurtures your wellbeing.
