Modern warfare has unleashed unprecedented environmental havoc in addition to tremendous loss of life. War is used as a tool of oppression and genocide to install the dominant culture and to take control of land and resources. The climate emergency cannot be resolved without ending war.

This workshop will explore the deep connections between war and environmental degradation by focusing on healing from the emotional traumas of war and climate change, recognizing the importance of reclaiming our connection to people and the environment. By redirecting resources from war to climate solutions and building unity across movements, we can work towards ending oppression, separation, and militarization and the climate emergency.

followed by Healing Circle (optional)
11:30am – 12:30pm

Healing circles based on shared experiences give people a chance to be listened to about feelings connected to climate change. Having the chance to share feelings of grief, fear, anger, discouragement, and hope in a mutually supportive group can refresh us and give us new ideas for action.
