Daytime Linking Conversations Jan 2025

Join CPA-NA's bi-monthly drop-in conversation called “Linking Conversations.” We will think and talk together about what’s happening in the world–such as extreme weather, political moments, and cultural flashpoints–and about linking thought and action, being and doing, the internal and external worlds. Through these conversations, we hope create links that will help us bear the weight of climate change and find spaciousness from which to act.

This Month's Suggested Topic:

The Pathway is the Medicine

We are traveling together through liminal space; There are no experts here.

Bathed in uncertainty, we can easily pathologize; We can spiral into negativity. 

But what if it were an act of resistance to choose to trust ourselves and be in relationship with one another and the planet? Perhaps we can notice how we are being changed. We can see our values coming through. We can discover what we are called to offer. 

What is next for me, for life, for CPA?

The conversations are founded on the idea that to build an empathic and justice oriented response to the climate crisis, we need to support and honor those parts of being human that “link” - to our own inner lives, to the subjective experiences of others, to the collective lived experience of our communities, and to the environment in which we live and upon which we depend. In a culture that persistently attacks and disavows these links, we aim to recognize and support them.
