What do you feel about the climate crisis?
Sometimes it’s hard to put feelings into words.

Try exploring them through sound and music instead in a Climate Café Listening & Music Circle. No musical experience needed.

What do you FEEL about the climate crisis? It can be hard translating our feelings around this huge issue into words - feelings shift as we try to capture them. The words to describe what you’re feeling might not even exist.

What if you could experiment with sound & music as well as words ?

There are four house martins feeding above my head. They’re six inches long and are about to travel 6,000 miles. That’s about 63 million times their body length. The lunatics.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Here is the deal:

Capitalism wants you to manage your feelings, suppress them during the work day - and then we feel dysregulated and unsettled (or worse) when they return to us at force at night - and then we try to escape them.

There are other ways to consider our emotional response
This starts next week - plenty of seats open - including 3 free seats.

From a past participant:
“Martha offers a little toolbox: ways to notice messages from our emotions that we’ve been habitually overlooking, and strategies for how to listen to those messages...”
