When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Where is it safe to talk about the fear, outrage, and grief of the climate crisis? Climate Cafes offer a structured space for informal, open, respectful discussion of emotional responses and reactions related to the climate.

🌱 A Climate Cafe focuses on feelings rather than action- though it is not a lecture, nor a therapy group. This group exists to build emotional resilience in the face of uncertain times, for people concerned about climate and ecological crises, and their impacts on our planet at global, local, and individual levels.

🌎 Everyone is welcome, no matter where they are in their journey of processing their concerns about the future of our planet.

☕ Join us for a Climate Cafe at Hitchcock Center on Sunday, April 21 from 2 PM - 3:30 PM. Free to attend, we hope to see you there!
