Sally Gillespie - Stormy Weather: Engaging with Climate Change

This talk explores ways to engage in climate change conversations to facilitate conscious change. Sally draws on stories from facilitating in depth discussions in a research group, where participants shared their dreams, imaginings, frustrations, grief, hopes, fears and inspirations in relation to climate change. This process enabled participants to reflect on their changing personal and collective myths, while nurturing the awareness required to sustain ongoing climate engagement and action. Engagement with the emotional and existential dimensions of climate change, can open space re-conceptualisation of the problems and innovative solutions.
