SUMMARY:Ecosystems of Care: A Solastalgia poetry and prose workshop
DESCRIPTION:What sustains us through times of change\, when the ground beneath our feet seems strange and unreal? \nSolastalgia describes the distress we feel when “home” doesn’t feel like home anymore\, a sense of homesickness one feels when the places we live start changing around us. \nOur lives are intricately woven into the places we inhabit\, the communities we belong to\, and the living\, breathing world around us. As climate change transforms these relationships\, how do we continue to care for one another\, foster belonging\, and build a just future together? \nJoin GSA and RAVEN for Ecosystems of Care: A Solastalgia poetry and prose workshop\, a creative workshop exploring our relationships with place\, climate change\, grief\, belonging\, and collective care. \nThrough guided writing prompts\, reflections\, and discussion\, we’ll explore how care flows between people\, place\, our more-than-human kin\, and the communities we build\, including the world we’ll leave for future generations. Together\, we’ll reflect on the relationships that sustain us\, what needs protecting and nourishing\, and how creativity can help us imagine new possibilities for our communities and the places we call home. \nNo writing experience is needed! Just bring yourself\, your curiosity\, and a willingness to reflect. \n<><><> \nBuilding resilience through care and collective power \nThis is the second event in our Climate Justice Dialogue Series: Building Community Resilience for the Times Ahead. This gathering explores an essential dimension of climate resilience: the relationships and practices that help communities navigate change\, build solidarity\, and shape their own futures. \nWeathering disruption is an essential part of resilience. But to get there\, we need to build real\, sometimes messy\, sometimes amazing ecosystems of care. This is foundational to ensuring that communities have a voice in decisions that affect them\, and is a major step along the way to building the collective power required to create more just and livable futures. \nWe don’t have to face uncertainty alone. By making space for creativity\, connection\, and shared reflection\, we can nurture the ecosystems of care that sustain us\, and strengthen our capacity to shape what comes next.
