What is your relationship with the darker months, the darker times of your life?

In this half-day workshop, we will explore our relationship with the dark using the natural world as our mirror. We will listen deeply and connect with our body, each other and the land, exploring how this winter story can teach us about our own human journey.

Through embodiment practices, perspectives from the eco-centric wheel, reflection with each other and alone with nature, we will find nourishment and build resilience. Let us expand our heart’s capacity for these times.

Our lives need each season to inform us. Let us leave space for what winter brings, finding the beauty in the darkness, letting go of what needs composting, knowing that the wheel keeps turning and the light will return.

“All beginnings start in the darkness, in the fecund earth, the pulsing womb. It is not spring where life suddenly appears out of nowhere, but now in these inward months.”

Brigit Anna McNeil

“This season of winter, for me, is always a time to think about change and transformation, about all the ways in which we might allow the long, cold dark to strip us down to the bones of who we are. Every year, letting winter strip us bare; letting the final leaves that we’re clinging onto fall. Letting it all fall, and seeing what still holds us upright. And from that point of strength, choosing the ways in which we might bend.”

Sharon Blackie

Come along for community building, friendly chats and sharing delicious food with other like-minded people.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Join our intimate Climate Café, a safe sharing circle to express our emotions and thoughts that arise in response to the global climate and biodiversity crisis. This is a place to meet with other concerned people and voice our reactions that might otherwise not have a space to be heard or may even feel taboo to talk about. A Climate Café's only purpose is to give voice to how we feel and is not intended as a space to create solutions. As such, it helps to release some of the burden we carry. Many people feel a deep sense of relief through talking and listening, and describe the experience as cathartic. Giving our emotions this space is essential to move from climate anxiety to active hope.

We are delighted to offer this virtual climate café in aid of hometree, an Irish project that connects people through stewardship, regeneration and afforestation of native Irish rainforest. Give as you can - we suggest a donation of 5 to 15 Euro.

Climate Cafés are safe spaces to talk and listen about the emotions and thoughts you might experience in relation to the global climate and biodiversity crisis. It's a place to meet with other concerned people and voice these reactions that might otherwise not have a space to be heard or might even feel taboo to talk about.

This listening space is open to anyone who feels they could benefit from talking about their emotional responses to the climate crisis. There is no obligation for action. This space is also not about finding solutions. A Climate Café's only purpose is to give voice to how we feel and by that release some of the burden we carry.

For this Climate Café I am delighted to be joined by the wonderful Roisin Markham as my co-facilitator. Roisin is a cultural thinker, artist, strategic designer and educator. And a wonderful human all around.

Limited spaces available - maximum group size is 12.

Learn a simple approach to building a climate career that nourishes the planet and yourself! Claudia Geratz will lead this interactive workshop in which you will experiment with science-backed approaches. Research has proven these techniques to be effective at creating a career that you feel confident in and energized by.

Climate career job seekers are motivated to pivot into climate because they understand the urgency to act. They are also often very familiar with the emotional weight of climate anxiety and despair. Yet, most changemakers don't have a space to talk about this emotional burden, and they lack effective strategies to navigate recurring episodes of climate anxiety.

​In this event, you will:

• ​Understand the common climate emotions and how they show up in your body, your mind, and your heart

• ​Learn practical strategies to connect with your climate emotions through compassion, care, and community

• ​Leave feeling empowered to befriend your climate emotions and move into positive action

>> This event is limited to 25 participants <<

Create your authentic career narrative for confident networking, job search and interviewing.

Have a squiggly career path? A few gaps on your CV? Things happened that you would rather not talk about? Not sure how to tell a coherent story about your career to date? And heck, how do I create a career narrative to successfully pivot into climate work?

Join me for an experiential hour to holistically reflect on your career, identifying what it means when you are at your best and extract the stories to tell with confidence in networking and interviews.

In this workshop you will learn how to:

• create a career narrative that is coherent, engaging and is authentically YOU

• extract the positive stories of success and growth that let you shine

• apply game-changing strategies to embrace networking and interviewing with confidence

Who is this for?

This workshop is designed for mid-career professionals who are preparing for a career pivot. It is ideal for people feeling unsure about how to present their career narrative in a confident and authentic way. It's particularly relevant for people who want to pivot into an impact career.

What to bring:

Pen and paper - we will be visualising parts of your career by sketching and scribbling. It’s best to do this the old-fashioned way 📝

This session is designed for you to predominantly work and reflect on your own personal career to date. You are invited to share with others through the chat or open discussion, but this is not mandatory. You do you, always :)
