    Connect on the Quest: A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety – How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet

    Virtual Event via Zoom

    Connect on the Quest - for any climate action advocate - green school mentor - teacher - community member - all are welcome - Wednesday, February 8, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm, online. REGISTER Those inheriting our planet’s environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation. Drawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an “existential tool kit” for youth who are reenergizing global environmental activism – the “climate generation.” Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. Her new book, a Field Guide to Climate Anxiety, is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time. Connect on the Quest is a virtual gathering centered on providing Green Schools Quest participants with opportunities to connect with each other and learn together. It is also open to educators… Continue Reading Connect on the Quest: A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety – How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet
