Climate Cafe

[Rich Bradley]

Hi,

The local chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby is sponsoring an important event coming up on 20 April 2024 at the Delaware County District Library. Read more below:

What is a climate café? It is…

 

·      An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses

and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency (i.e. a “container”).

·      A space for exploration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences about the climate crisis.

·      A quiet, reflective experience - a haven from usual busyness and activity.

·      Not designed to lead participants to any conclusion or toward action (actions can be discussed, but reflection is paramount).

 

"The climate cafe was so uplifting and motivating. I genuinely feel so relieved, while also more connected on campus after the cafe and will be reflecting on it for a long time."

– Fall 2023 Climate Cafe Attendee

 

Where: Delaware County District Library, Main Branch (84 E Winter St. Delaware, OH)

 

When: Saturday 20 April 4-5pm
