Dear Subscriber First Name,

This past April, I had the opportunity to meet in person Katharine K. Wilkinson and Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, co-editors of All We Can Save - a book that was a turning point in my climate journey, and for which I have facilitated many book circles over the years. This event, at Manny’s community center in San Francisco, was part of a book tour for the newly published book by Dr. Wilkinson.

The book is aptly titled:
Climate Wayfinding- Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home.

I now have read the book: it’s inspiring, beautifully written, while practical and action oriented.

Summer is also here with its heatwaves, torrential rains, associated floods, and wildfires. These extreme weather events remind us every day that the planet is heating up.

As humans, we seem to need these crisis to take action.

So, if you are ready to engage, I have two offerings for you based on Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson’s new book:
- the first one is a Summer book circle.
- the second one is a coaching program.

They both use this amazing book as scaffolding.

I hope you will choose to engage with climate work this summer or in the near future. As Dr. Wilkinson writes: “Each of us is a node of possibility”.

Read below for details of these two offerings, and please write back with questions or comments.

Warmly,

Anne-Marie

A Summer Reading Group:
8 weeks-7/30-9/17

“When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order”.
~Ilya Prigogine

Let’s create an island of coherence together!

I invite you to join me and my colleague, Kelli Schonher, for our Summer book circle. Both Kelli and I have facilitated a number of book circles for All We Can Save over the years.

A book circle, also called a reading group, is a little like a book club, but instead of meeting once after having read the entire book, we’ll meet weekly for 8 weeks, discussing one chapter at a time.

The circle will be held via Zoom on Thursdays from 4:30pm to 5:45pm PT.

Read more about reading groups on the Climate Wayfinding website.

To engage deeply with the topic, the circle is limited to 10 participants. If interested, please sign-up early to reserve your spot.
There is no cost to participating.

All dates for our journey together:

Jul 30- Embarking

Aug 6- Getting Our Bearings

Aug 13- Following Our Emotions

Aug 20- Surfacing Solutions

Aug 27- Offering Our Superpowers

Sept 3- Connecting with Community

Sept 10- Orienting with Vision

Sept 17- Journeying Onward

PS: We are looking to get a minimum of 5 participants to hold this reading group.

Kelli and I look forward to welcoming you to this Summer book circle.

Climate Wayfinding:
A New Climate Engagement Coaching Program

“Each of us is a node of possibility for healing the climate crisis—whoever we are and whatever we’ve got to give.”
—Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson

In 2020, I created my first climate coaching program based on the book The Future We Choose by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac. Six years later, I am excited to offer this new climate engagement coaching program based on the newly released book Climate Wayfinding by Katharine K. Wilkinson. While similar in structure to the (THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE), this new coaching (CLIMATE WAYFINDING) program reflects my progress on this climate journey as well as the author’s: it goes deeper into understanding the psychological impediments to taking action for healing our planet and ourselves, offers many resources such as journaling prompts, mapping exercises and other tools, supporting inner and outer explorations, and strongly support action and forward movement.
If we want these exercises to bring their full potential, many of us will require the support and accountability of a coach.
In some ways, this program is also similar to my other coaching program (DESIGNING YOUR LIFE) that I have offered now for almost a decade.
The journey through this new book is very much like a pilgrimage as Dr Wilkinson defines wayfinding as “a purposeful navigation act, identifying where we are, where we want to go, and then finding a passage to get there”. Thus the book is articulated into three phases: inward, outward and forward as a pilgrimage would.

PS: This coaching program can be supplemented by the book circle that is being offered this summer, thus receiving the support of a group in addition to the personal support of me as your coach.
