At a Climate Cafe, people come together in a safe non-judgemental space to bear witness to each other’s feelings about the climate crisis. There are no right or wrong things to say or feel. No advice is given, and no actions or solutions are provided - it is not a counselling session. A facilitator manages the time so that each person who wants to speak can do so. Climate cafes run on the principles of a safe space, deep listening, respect for all present and acceptance of others’ emotions without judgement. Climate cafes can help people feel heard and less alone in their feelings. This can can relieve distress.
