Join Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action for a Seattle climate grief and resilience workshop on hosted by Hillel at the University of Washington and co-sponsored by Kavana and EM/WAIPL.
Led by Dayenu facilitators, this workshop is part of an emerging field of climate spiritual adaptation work, anchored in Jewish wisdom, and building on practices from Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects. It aims to support communities to confront the climate crisis together, with strategies for avoiding burnout, processing the emotions that arise, staying connected, and moving to bold action. This interactive workshop guides participants of all ages through small group conversations rooted in what’s at stake, practices to process climate emotions, envisioning a just, livable, joyous future for generations to come, and sharing resources and strategies for moving into bold climate action and active hope as a community.
2:30 pm: Arrive & Schmooze
3:00-5:30 pm: Workshop
What to expect?
We will take a journey together through four stages, rooted in Jewish wisdom. We start in (1) gratitude then we (2) honor our pain for the world by making space to process our climate emotions. We then move into (3) opening to new possibilities by imagining a just and livable future on planet earth and finally arriving at theories of change and (4) taking action. We will have a little over two hours to journey through these stages with experiential practices for each and will also have time at the end for participants to connect around climate action happening in their respective networks.
Event is hosted by Hillel UW and co-sponsored by Kavana and EM/WAIPL.
