Climate Wayfinding Book Circle

As many regions of the world are suffering from debilitating heatwaves or torrential rains or wildfires this summer, are you still wondering “WHAT IS MINE TO DO?” to help mitigate or adapt to the human caused climate breakdown?

Dr. Katherine K. Wilkinson, co-editor of National Betseller All We Can Save has recently released a new book titled Climate Wayfinding- Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home. Similarly to the All We Can Save anthology, the book is structured to be a support for in-depth personal inquiry in the community of fellow readers.

I invite you to join me and my friend and 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. We are looking to get a minimum of 5 participants to hold this series of events.

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

“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”.

ALL WE CAN SAVE for Coaches

As coaches we need to be able to navigate the challenging times we are in, and help our clients do the same. One of the challenges we face today is the human caused climate breakdown.

So, if you are wanting to get a better grasp of the crisis, if you are desiring to bring more awareness to the issue into your coaching conversations with clients, or if you are hungry for deeper dialogue and want to build community around the climate crisis with other coaches, we want to invite you to sign up to participate in this All We Can Save circle for coaches and by coaches.

This circle is hosted by ICF coaches, Cristina Custodio and Anne-Marie Brest.

Cristina Custodio is an experienced social change coach. She is based in Puerto Rico. Anne-Marie Brest brings her background as a climate engagement coach and is based in California.
We both bring our previous successful experiences of leading All We Can Save circles and our dedication to making this world a better place for future generations through coaching.

The book All We Can Save- Truth, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katherine K. Wilson, is an anthology of provocative and illuminating essays from women at the forefront of the climate movement.

The circle is a little like a book club, but instead of meeting once after having read the entire book, we’ll meet weekly for 10 weeks discussing one chapter at a time. The circle will be held via Zoom on Thursdays from 4:30pm to 5:40pm PT/ 7:30pm to 8:40pm ET.

ACTIVE HOPE Book Journey

to Jun 10

ACTIVE HOPE Book Journey

In 2012, Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone wrote Active Hope - How to Face the Mess We’re in without Going Crazy. Drawing on decades of teaching the empowerment approach called The Work That Reconnects, the authors guide readers through a transformational process that equips us to face the mess we are in and to play our role in the collective transition to a life-sustaining journey.

What is Active Hope? Hear it directly from Joanna Macy in this video.

The book journey is a little like a book club, but instead of meeting once after having read the entire book, we’ll meet weekly for 6 weeks via Zoom on Thursdays from 4:30pm to 5:45pm PT.

The book journey has three main elements:

1) Reading Active Hope together

2) The weekly Zoom meeting, where we discuss the book and engage in exercises from it

3) (Optional) A partnered homework process between each meeting

We will meet weekly for 6 weeks for 75 minutes.

Dates:

May 6- Session 1 - Introduction plus Chapters 1 & 2

May 13- Session 2 - Chapter 3 on Coming from Gratitude

May 20- Session 3 - Chapter 4 on Honoring our Pain for the World

May 27- Session 4 - Chapters 5, 6, 7 & 8 on Seeing With New Eyes

June 3- Session 5 - Chapters 9 & 10, Going Forth pt 1

June 10- Session 6 - Chapters 11, 12 & 13 on Going Forth pt 2
