Moving Beyond Despair about the Climate Crisis: Engaging Emotions Through Poetry
All ages are invited to participate in a unique and inspiring event that unites the wisdom of the elderly with the passion of youth in a creative exploration of emotions related to the climate crisis.
This creative experience will engage you in conversation focused on finding words to convey your feelings through poetry – something ‘beautiful’ that can have healing powers in times of sadness and trauma. Poetry has the potential to impact the individual and the community by enabling diverse voices to speak and to be heard. Please note that previous experience with environmental initiatives or poetry is not required. This will be a no-judgement space where people can explore themselves, their feelings and their experiences with the climate crisis through poetry.
