The Contemplative Studies Centre at Melbourne University will conduct a webinar on the topic of Climate anxiety and the impact of a burning planet, online, on Monday, April 11 from 12:00pm – 1:30pm
Human life stands at a precipice: We cannot go back to previous ways of being – not completely – nor can we continue to live the way we are living. Any choices we make will involve stepping away from comfort and habit and into uncertainty. How can this be done?
From children to environmentalists, people all over the world are struggling to process their emotions about climate change. How can we confront the environmental crises and stay sane? Can contemplative practices from Indigenous or other traditions support us to care for the earth, our communities, and ourselves?
Join moderator Jacinta Parsons (ABC Radio) and a panel of experts for an exploration of the ways in which contemplative practices can help us to manage the emotional toll of climate change.
This event is part of the 75th Anniversary celebrations for the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences. See the full program here.
