The Grove

The Grove is for scientists and science (adjacent folks) climate researchers, lab techs, graduate students, public health workers, environmental educators, science communicators who feel the weight of their work in their body and are longing for space to process, reconnect, and reimagine.

You might be: feeling disillusioned or burned out, curious about emotional and relational tools but unsure where to begin, longing for peers who get it, or tired of triage mode and yearning to feel your heart in your work again.

No prior experience with emotional or somatic practices required - just a willingness to show up honestly.

It is is a 4-week immersive course that blends neuroscience, emotional literacy, somatic tools, and collective care. We offer gentle but profound ways to metabolize climate grief, navigate uncertainty, and reconnect with purpose—without bypassing the hard truths.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Nervous system tools for grounding and regulation in the face of constant crisis

• Understanding moral injury—what happens when our internal ethics clash with institutional or societal realities

• Climate emotions: grief, rage, fear, hope—and how to make space for them

• Recognizing and recovering from burnout

• Curiosity as a compass in scientific life and culture shift

• Building community (and not just collaboration) among scientists

• Tools for communicating more effectively and persuasively, especially when facts alone aren’t moving the needle

Meeting Dates are April 23, April 30, May 7 and May 14, 2026 from 5-7pm Pacific Time/6-8pm Mountain Time
