This workshop invites community members, students, UBC faculty, staff and more to hold and confront their climate emotions and learn about frameworks such as climate wellbeing which center solutions based-thinking. Participants are invited to engage with intersectional approaches to healing to hold space for climate emotions, process trauma caused by climate change, and imagine the better worlds we are fighting for. Dialogue, free food, collaging, and reflective + movement-based activities will be facilitated to support the processing of climate emotions such as ecological grief and climate anxiety and facilitate engagement with care work.
UBC Sustainability Ambassadors Climate Wellbeing cohort, alongside UBC Wellbeing, UBC Climate Hub, Mental Health and Climate Change Alliance, Solastalgia, and Break the Divide are partnering to organize this event for Thrive Month.
