Climate Circles
What are Climate Circles for?
Climate circles are for the overwhelming emotions and feelings that arise when we read the news and/or deal with climate changes. In everyday life, there is hardly any room for all these feelings – often not at home, with friends and family, nor at work. We can quickly feel all alone.
inabel and One Resilient Earth invite you to online and offline “Climate Circles”. In this courageous and supportive space, we encourage you to recognize these feelings and share them. We create spaces where we can talk openly about the injustice, exhaustion, frustration and sadness that we experience as people. In the same way, we celebrate moments of joy, resonance, togetherness and inspiring experiences.
Inspired by the practice of Indigenous Talking Circles, the circle is based on the following principles:
- Creating a space for deep listening and being heard
- Invitation for expression through simple creative practices (optional)
- Equal appreciation of all voices
- Telling stories and sharing experiences
- Formation of mutual understanding, respect and support
- Appreciation of the gifts, knowledge, talents and experiences of each individual
- Building community
Who can participate?
The Climate Circles are offered to everyone, free of charge. Please contact inabel with any accessibility needs at: care@healingisgiving.com
