The climate crisis is unlike any challenge we’ve faced before. It’s all encompassing, global in nature and it’s not something that’s going away any time soon. This can bring some unique challenges for activists, campaigners and churches including eco-anxiety and a whole range of difficult emotions.
Join us for this Solidarity Session where our guest speaker Jo Musker-Sherwood will share ideas for minimising the impact of these challenging emotions. We’ll learn how to work with our eco-anxiety/ distress/ guilt, and how to take care of ourselves as we seek to live out our faith and call for climate justice.
With a mixture of theory and practice, you’ll learn a variety of strategies relevant to campaigning in all spheres of social justice, with signposting to further resources and some time for Q and A.
