“Inside the word ‘emergency’ is ‘emerge’; from an emergency new things come forth. The old certainties are crumbling fast, but danger and possibility are sisters.”
Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities

Thursdays 9:30-11 am
March 20th - May 15th

Join us for an 8-week experiential support group cultivating emotional resilience to navigate political upheaval, injustice, and climate change. We will deepen our connection to ourselves and others using art, movement, and nature to support our individual and collective well-being.

This group is for you if you want to….

  • gear up for a radical shift and adjust to changing paradigms

  • live more congruently with your values

  • cultivate more presence and centeredness 

  • find comfort with uncertainty

  • nourish acceptance and clarify your locus of control

  • co-create pathways with others in unprecedented times

Tentative schedule (we will adjust according to the groups’ needs):

Week 1: We are a product of our times
Week 2: Facing uncertainty
Week 3: Honoring impermanence
Week 4: Practicing embodiment
Week 5: Open space
Week 6: Rewilding
Week 7: Cultivating beauty, awe & gratitude
Week 8: Stepping into action

Led by Jen Myers, Ph.D., sustainability educator specializing in place attachment and climate psychology, and Laurie Buehler, LMFT, licensed therapist with extensive experience in hospice and grief education.
