We are facing an ecological crisis that threatens much of what we take for granted today. When presented with information about this crisis we tend to either fall into a sense of overwhelm or despair (or cycle between the two)—these reactions prevent us from stepping forward to bring about the needed changes in our lives and communities to help secure a sustainable future for all. In the face of rapid environmental breakdown and climate change, The Week is a group experience to help us see what’s coming, and what we can do about it.

Led by Society Executive Director and environmental activist Dan Donohue, and taking place over three sessions, The Week will give you a better understanding of the crisis and help you develop tools of emotional resilience so we can begin to take action both personally and as a community.

Schedule

Each session will be centered on a 1-hour video from The Week. We will watch the first video together in Session 1, and the others will be watched at home prior to sessions 2 and 3. We will engage in facilitated discussions about the videos in each session.

Session 1: Understanding the problem and our emotional response (In-Person)
Sunday 4/20 • 1pm – 3pm

Session 2: How did we get here and emotional tools for the journey (Online)
Tuesday 4/22 • 6:30pm – 8pm

Session 3: What can we do and building emotional resilience (Online)
Thursday 4/24 • 6:30pm – 8pm

This program is for Society Members only, and registration is required. This program is also free, but participants are encouraged to make a donation to The Week.
