Many of us feel overwhelmed and defeated by the enormity of the climate crisis facing us and the impact it is already having. We are also deeply concerned about the impact on future generations. Using the magic of sociodrama, we can give voice to our grief and fear, hear from the earth itself and the needs of the future. In facing our reality on this planet, we can through dialogue find new connection with each other and the power of our own actions to make change- rediscovering hope.
After this session participants will be able to:
- identify and express their feelings about their specific concerns related to the environment
- identify ways in which they are already part of the change towards greater harmony with the earth
- explore ways to continue and deepen the movement toward healing the environment and ourselves in relation to it.
