ALSO Festival is a world famous “festival of ideas” from running over the weekend of 8-July 2022 with a beautiful swimming lake at the centre of the site. Come along for dawn and sunset dips, the eclectic mix of arts, crafts, tech and music workshops,. Up-and-coming bands rub shoulders with comedy and cabaret on stage.

Join me and Rachael who are both trained facilitators and Climate Psychology Alliance members at the ALSO Climate Café. A climate café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears & uncertainties about our climate & ecological crisis can be safely expressed. It is open to anyone aged 16 or over who is worried about the climate and ecological crisis.

As it becomes more evident that climate and ecological breakdown are a clear and present danger to our safety and wellbeing, we increasingly need to talk about what our changing world means for us in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it clearly and constructively and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be taboo and hard to talk about.

We are so glad to be able to offer this space for those who want to attend a Climate Cafés as part of their weekend at ALSO.
