Hot Topics - Hopeful Climate Visions
2024-11-10 11:15 - 12:30 | UUFCC – Sanctuary, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Join us for the first session of a two-part series on Climate Revival facilitated by our Green Sanctuary Committee. As we work together for collective liberation, as we work to create a world with love at the center, where all communities — ecosystems, humans, neighborhoods — thrive, we can’t use the same tools and mindsets that got us into this mess in the first place. As we faithfully adapt to our changing world, an attitude of curiosity, creativity, openness, and imperfection can be a powerful shift.
In this first session, we will focus on the following:

Collective Imagining of a potential future community
Making Connections between the challenging realities
and Building Capacity for change with community care

We need to shed our siloed actions and scarcity mindsets as we grow into abundance, creativity, collaboration, and radical re-imagining. We hope you will lend your voice to this important discussion.
