Heal within a Brave Community & Engage in Life with Love
Eco-anxiety (Ecological Anxiety), a Widespread and Normal Feeling.
Eco-anxiety is increasingly recognized as a growing concern, especially amongst the young generation. Eco-anxiety is the distress stemming from concerns about the state of the world, the degradation of our beautiful planet, climate change, and living with uncertainty.
The Benefits of Coming Together.
In a peer-to-peer support group, you will sit in a safe and compassionate space to explore & process the variety of emotions you are dealing with. You will be able to reduce feelings of isolation. You might find solace in shared experiences and a sense of community that has been eroded by modern life.
How does a Support group work?
Support groups are programs of up to 10 weeks (1 session per week). Each session has a theme (like “Accept the predicament”, “Be with uncertainty”, “Practice gratitude”, “Reinvest in meaningful actions”). There is a designed ritual to all sessions: grounding exercise to calm our nervous system, reminder of the group agreements (respect, confidentiality, deep listening, curiosity), check-in, sharing our experience, and closing the session.
Coping Strategies and Resources.
In-between sessions, you will be provided a list of resources and a variety of practical coping strategies so you can find what fits your needs and your life constraints.
What happens after a program?
After the program is finished, I offer new opportunities to meet again through standalone workshops dedicated to a theme (like “Parenting in times of crisis”, “Body intelligence for emotional regulation”) facilitated by myself or by my peers in the larger community.
Good Grief Network Support groups.
As a member of the Good Grief Network, I work closely with a community of heart-centered people to learn, grow my skills, adapt to different audiences, and I also run the Good Grief Network program: “10 Steps to Personal Resilience & Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate".
