Active Hope for the Climate Crisis

In this three-week program we will work with eco-activist and scholar Joanna Macy’s book Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in with Unexpected Resilience & Creative Power in order to give space to our emotions around the climate crisis together, develop tools for expanding our capacities to hold these difficult feelings, and channel them into climate justice action for the benefit of all beings. Reading sections of the book before each session is optional and encouraged. Each week will involve an overview of the chapters, pair or small group work, and discussion.

Laura Cohen is a student at Union Theological Seminary studying Buddhism and Interreligious Engagement. She practices Zen Buddhism and has recently been exploring the vocation of chaplaincy. She is excited to be here at All Souls this year serving the Buddhism and Mindfulness community.
