Embodied Climate Dialogue
Where World Cafe meets Climate Change x Emotional Intelligence
WORLD CAFE METHODOLOGY is a simple, effective, and flexible format for hosting large group dialogue. It is a structured conversational process for knowledge sharing in which groups of people discuss a topic at several small tables like those in a café.
A CLIMATE CAFE takes the methodology of World Cafe and applies it to talk and act on climate change. It is an open and inclusive space, for multiple stakeholders, bringing people together from across communities, workplaces and walks of life to focus on solutions to the climate crisis.
EMBODIED CLIMATE DIALOGUE FOR COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS addresses issues of the climate crisis within conversation with the lense of embodiement and emotional intelligence. We work with teams, communities and organizations working on climate change and addressing climate change issues that are feeling burnt out, overwhelemed or struggling to show up to work in healthy ways. We are process facilitators and spaceholders that help you understand your emotions, work together as a team, and engage in embodied decision making.
WHAT IS EMBODIEMENT?
Making informed Decisions
Embodiment means that our physical body affects how we think and understand the world. Our body's shape and senses influence how our mind works and how we experience things. It includes taking into account body, emotions and energy as well as our intellect and the mind when making decisions and addressing the systemic polycrsis.
WHAT IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE?
Concious Feelings Work
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, while also recognizing and responding well to other people's feelings. It helps you build better relationships and handle difficult situations better. Eco-anxiety, overwhelm and burnout are all too common. Emotions are the key to regulating our nervous systems.
