Event description

COVID has changed our lives, it has paused many aspects including our ability to continue many climate-focused actions.

The aim of the self-guided practice and interactive online gathering is to feel nurtured, develop our sense of support, guidance, and well-being in Nature and with like-minded people. We have the opportunity to build our resilience united and reconnected as we negotiate a newly defined active life while living with COVID.

This event contains 2 parts:

  1. Participants engage in an ecopsychology practice prior to the event online. You have time to complete it leading up to the event. You will also receive the zoom link in event reply email for the online gathering. YOU WILL RECEIVE CONFIRMATION EMAIL WITH ALL DETAILS FOR THE PRACTICE (please check your spam if don't receive it after booking) 
  2. The online gathering on December 8th is an opportunity to be truly present to each other, reflect and share, and to strengthen our capacity to continue to act for life on Earth. 

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

Ecopsychology practice: You will receive an email with a link for a self-guided practice utilizing the Natural Systems Thinking process which includes consent, multi-sensing, re-connecting, and gratitude. Please set aside at least an hour unhurried outdoors to fully engage in the practice prior to the gathering. Ecopsychology practices do not focus on providing information, rather providing tools and experiences to explore, connect, relate, reflect, and sense your own self as part of the whole.

(Sustainability of self as a whole living organism) focuses on transitioning uncomfortable sensations related to the complexity of living within the unprecedented climate and ecological emergency.
