Climate Café Listening Circle — Falmouth

Join Cornwall Climate Action Network for a climate café; a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears and uncertainties about our climate crisis can be safely expressed.

What is a Climate Café?

A Climate Café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears, uncertainties and grief about our climate & ecological crisis can be safely felt and expressed. (https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/).

Please note that this climate café is for anyone aged 18 or over.

Why do we need Climate Café Listening Circles?

We need the kind of exploration that listening circles provide as it becomes more evident that climate and ecological breakdown are not far-away problems but a clear and present danger to our own safety and wellbeing. People increasingly need to talk about what our changing world means for them in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it constructively and clear-sightedly, and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be hard to talk about.

What happens during a Climate Café Listening Circle?

The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone.

The listening circle will be led by facilitators trained through Climate Psychology Alliance and our Community of Practice project, and is offered free of charge thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, distributed by Transition Together.

Location:

The listening circle is being held at The Snug, Above The Bookshop Cafe, 21 Church Street, Falmouth, TR11 3EG.

Please note there is no parking at the venue. Please allow extra time to arrive.

Time:

The listening circle will run from 10.00am - 12.00pm. Please note, this is a held space (rather than a drop-in session). Please come for 10 as we will be closing the doors to new arrivals at 10.15 to create a safe, supportive space for those attending.
