UUFCC Resilience and Acceptance Discussion Group
2026-02-22 11:30 - 12:45 (America/New_York) | UUFCC – Room B, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
The participants of the UUFCC Resilience and Acceptance in the Face of Collapse course (which met from October 2023-February 2024) would like to invite UUFCC members and others to participate in the UUFCC Resilience and Acceptance Discussion Group.
The purpose of this group is to create a safe and stimulating space for exploring resilience and acceptance in the face of the collapse of modern civilization and for supporting each other in making changes in our lives and communities to lessen the impact of collapse. “Resilience” includes both the capacity within each of us to allow and stay with difficult emotions while also remaining grounded, as well as the actions we take with other people to meet challenges in our communities. “Collapse
acceptance” means acknowledging that the collapse of modern industrial civilization is real and already happening and recognizing our inability to stop it. We don’t know if it will lead to the extinction of humans, but it will bring about “The End Of The World As We Know It.” Collapse acceptance involves embracing what is coming to an end, living fully in this present moment, and co-creating a new way of being, relating, organizing, and responding (acting) in these times.
If you are interested in participating in our discussions, please join us on the fourth Sunday of every month in Room B.

The Impact
The intersection of racism and climate impacts is not often considered by those in roles of decision making or the dominant (white) culture at large.
The Need
Disproportionate consequences of climate change calls for greater representation of those most affected in deriving equitable responses to global warming and resiliency.
The Goal
We will look at global and regional examples and name a few of the groups working to create a more equitable, sustainable world.
