Community Event: Climate Cafe to Share Eco-Anxiety
2026-02-12 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | State College Friends Meeting, 1900 University Dr, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Feeling climate distressed and wanting to share your concerns with like-minded people?
Please come to this free event co-sponsored by the State College Friends’ Climate Justice Working Group and Foxdale’s Climate Care committee. RSVP Here. Co-Facilitators are:
Jackie Bonomo, has led online Climate Cafes for Climate Witness Stewards and practiced peer counseling for 50 years; Andy McKinnon is a licensed social worker, therapist and climate activist and Stacey Budd is the Program Director for Team Development at Shaver’s Creek.
This Climate Cafe is organized to be a confidential space to share climate anxiety and grief over loss due to climate chaos. The world as we knew it is changing due to our previous inattention/denial of the consequences of our way of living on our planet. In clearly seeing this reality, many of us are fearful, angry and sad and the sharing of our losses and concerns helps. We want to:

Reduce feeling overwhelmed
Face the feelings and keep seeing climate reality
Stay actively engaged with the climate problem
Keep functioning well while accepting the reality of climate change, both in our everyday lives, as well as act for change to reduce the threat of climate rupture

D.E.A.L. Book Club - Against Technoableism by Ashley Shew

Discussion facilitated by Emory McKenna.
This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the crucial relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled―whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel.
This group is open to all folks who would like to join! Even if you are unable to or haven’t read the book, but would like to join the conversation, we welcome you.
