From Climate Anxiety to Community Action: An Evening with Activist & Author Kate Schapira

Join social practice artist and activist Kate Schapira to unlock your community power to build a better future, even within climate change. We’ll imagine brighter, more sustaining ways to live together, share skills for holding difficult conversations, and identify ways to make a difference starting here and now.

Schapira, author of Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth: How to Live With Care and Purpose in an Endangered World, will share time-tested techniques for managing your climate anxiety by engaging with climate action where you live, in ways that are sustainable for you as well as for the environment. In an interactive presentation, she’ll share stories (including her own) of people who found their own paths through climate advocacy and action. Through friendly, easy-to-do conversation prompts, people in the audience will find both inner strength and peer support for finding their own sense of climate possibility and meeting the changing world. (A livestream link will be provided for those who can’t attend in person.)
