Something that reminds you of the earth, reading material, and clothes to move in. (Or just yourself!)
Climate church is an effort between five friends to create space to discuss our community’s relationship to the earth, especially with regard to the climate crisis. We want to nurture a caring and interdependent community of diverse individuals while creating opportunities for thoughtful action within and outside the space. This space should provide a safe, warm home for dealing with the complicated anger, grief, and hope that comes with living during the potential end of the world.
We hope to invoke the spiritual sentiment of church that many of us grew up with by modeling our events after a secular service. At each service, we will engage all senses in order to root ourselves in the present, together: we will eat, drink, and cook; view and participate in art; listen to music; sing; sit in contemplation; shake hands; touch earth; and, importantly, provide opportunities to create.
