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.

We are excited to announce that we will offer two online climate cafes in collaboration with our Australian partner Psychology For A Safe Climate. Christie Wilson and Eva Jahn will be co-facilitating this international cafe in November and December.

Our Climate Cafes are donation-based and free for those who are in need of that option. Please choose the payment option that most accurately expresses your current financial situation. CERI runs on the big hearts and passion of our faculty and is mostly volunteer-based.
