Climate Cafe PDX

Climate Cafe PDX is a place to process climate related emotions with people in our community. Free and open to all.

**Masks provided and required**

💚 WHAT (IS A CLIMATE CAFE)
-An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency (i.e. a “container”).
-A space for exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences rather than what we are DOING about the climate crisis.
-A quiet, reflective experience - a haven from usual busyness and activity. Note: a Climate Cafe is NOT a clinical space, or a replacement for therapy.
