i think this is really great bc i often feel like the existential dread of coming (and current) climate catastrophes makes it difficult to feel hopeful. the media silence on everything seems to perpetuate that as well. it always feels like there’s so much going against the climate movement and not many willing to stand up to it so i think it makes being the one to stand up even harder to do.
Agree that ‘somatic approach to climate justice is about practicing and noticing what's happening every day and acknowledging that that does make a difference’. Noticing micro details and benefiting from the good energy around us helps keep us going. Thx!
I’m doing research for a paper about the role of imagination when we talk about climate futures - this piece is such a cool expansion of that into inner imagination/experience! Makes me think a little of Dr. Jose Ramos’ work around Mutant Futures: that foresight should include the visions/goals/values of many as well as a consideration of one’s internal relationship with “the future.” Thank you :)
Lots to think about and work with here. Thank you! Lx

This is a great reminder to remember to work inwardly as well as outwardly. So helpful. Thanks

Loved this one! So true about rejecting the culture of urgency and scarcity, even if done with the best of intentions. Thanks for the wisdom.
