Embodied Climate Action Workshop: Gathering the Seeds of Critical Hope
Tamara Yakaboski, PhDSaturday, Sept. 28 | 1–3 p.m. | $10 In–person
Autumn is the time that garden plants prepare their seeds for dispersal. Seeds represent critical hope. By taking action to disperse seeds, there is trust that seeds will find grounding and spring will come again. In playing with this metaphor, this workshop will explore how we gather our own seeds of critical hope in the face of eco-anxiety and ecological grief so that we can then grow our climate action. We will explore how it is critical to pair emotions with action.
