Climate Reality Leader Raz Mason will present this free interactive workshop for climate activists.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back stronger after facing challenges.
|
|
Those of us aware of the climate emergency have struggled to elicit appropriate responses from leaders and the public. We need a paradigm shift - a new story that captures people’s attention and points a way forward. Applying lessons from the perils and drama of seafaring to our planet-wide “blue boat” climate voyage offers a mental map for urgent, wise, and adventuresome action.
|
|
This interactive online workshop uses the dynamics of seafaring to introduce and apply eight “blue-boat” resilience lessons. By understanding these keys, we and our communities can better survive and thrive throughout our climate journey, generating the wise action needed to move ahead.
