Do you feel the ache of raising children within the worsening climate crisis? Do you want to inspire hope in kids, but you struggle with it yourself? Do you feel alone with your fears in a culture that doesn't welcome them? Are you searching for climate action that makes sense for your family?
Join experienced facilitators Teddy Kellam and Kristan Childs for an intimate 4-week program to explore undoing aloneness, tolerating difficult emotions, holding gratitude amidst uncertainty, and finding purpose in these times. We’ll use a blend of soulful practices, hard-earned wisdom for parenting through climate change, evocative writing prompts, somatic exercises, heart-centered sharing, poetry, neuroscience-backed approaches and well-curated resources to build inner capacity that supports resilience in children.
