CERI Climate Cafés
2025 monthly series
What is a climate cafe?
Climate Cafes are physical or virtual spaces for community members to share experiences and feelings related to this polycrisis. We may be meeting on campus, in an actual cafe, a park, a conference room, a workspace, or really any gathering space that people choose to come together.
A Climate Cafe is a welcoming, inclusive, facilitated and on-off process in community, offering space to explore our personal impact in regards to this crisis and to practice deep listening to both others and ourselves. By courageously speaking up about our climate feelings, we normalize them for ourselves, but also become an active participant in breaking the collective silence. There is no other agenda, no pressure to take action, no need to bring solutions. No expectation to do or fix.
Just an open invitation to share for a while with others who also care.

“Essentially, at the core, we come to a Climate Café out of love: love we are searching for in ourselves, the love that we hold for family, friends, community, the love we have for other beings and ultimately, if we allow ourselves to feel it … the love to protect life.''
— C.Wilson, 2024
