Fearful about the impact of the climate emergency on you, your family and the world?
A climate café is a warm, hospitable and safe space to discuss and process thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. And, of course, to have a cuppa, eat cake and take in the incredible Gaia Art Installation; the iconic giant illuminated globe by UK artist Luke Jerram.
Trained Climate Psychology Alliance facilitators Julie Bibby and Philippa Tomlinson will welcome you to a quiet and friendly space in St Thomas’ where the focus will be on sharing feelings and listening rather than on problems, solutions, actions or giving advice. For many of us, sharing how we feel about the threats to Gaia and to our Island with like-minded people in a small group can bring some relief and help us feel less isolated and more resilient.
There is no charge to attend. Refreshments will be available but a donation to the church is required. Sessions are limited to 10 people and open to anyone over the age of 18. If you have any questions before booking please message philippa@manx.net.
Sessions are taking place on:
Monday 22 April, 2:30-4:30pm & 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Wednesday 1 May, 2:30-4:30pm
