Spirit in the Desert's online climate theater brings voices of hope, courage and resilience

Join facilitator Sheri Brown in viewing hopeful, encouraging, and soul-strengthening films, followed by group discussion and mutual support. Climate Theater meets online via Zoom on Thursdays, June 8 – August 24 (excluding July 6 & 13) at 4pm PDT/MST, 5pm MDT. Register here to receive this month’s Zoom link.

Climate fatigue is real. We’re all worn out by the constant barrage of bad news. Climate anxiety is real. More than half of the population reports feeling somewhat-to-extremely anxious about global warming. Climate grief is real. Too many of us have turned that grief inward where it festers as despair.

Where are the voices of hope, of encouragement, of resilience?

They’re coming to you this summer! Following 12 weeks of her weekly series on climate awareness and education, facilitator Sheri Brown invites you to join her in viewing hopeful, encouraging, and soul-strengthening films, followed by group discussion and mutual support. Because none of us can deal with climate fatigue, anxiety, and grief alone. Well, Sheri can’t. And you shouldn’t have to.

Movies we'll watch and discuss this summer:

  • David Attenborough's A Life on Our Planet

  • Kiss the Ground

  • The Ants & the Grasshopper

  • American Resilience Project's Current Revolution series

  • The Letter: A Message for Our Earth

See trailers for each exciting film here. We'll watch together ~ you can turn off your camera, munching your popcorn and Milk Duds offscreen if you like, then join the group on-camera for the discussion. Join us for one film, or for the entire summer series. This'll be fun!
 
Join the Spirit community this summer for an hour on Thursdays at 4:00 AZ (PDT) beginning June 8. Register here.
