Join CPA-NA's bi-monthly drop-in conversation called “Linking Conversations.” We will think and talk together about what’s happening in the world–such as extreme weather, political moments, and cultural flashpoints–and about linking thought and action, being and doing, the internal and external worlds. Through these conversations, we hope create links that will help us bear the weight of climate change and find spaciousness from which to act.
This Month's Suggested Topic: How are the Political Energies Surrounding the US Elections Impacting You?
Surely, this year will heighten the divisive discourse on many issues that underlie and are related to the condition of the environment/climate. If only we could just stand up for human and ecological rights for their own sake, without the need to be political or divisive! How are you feeling emotionally and physically in the run up to this November? Would you appreciate a safe space to discuss, experience, share and feel around this?

The conversations are founded on the idea that to build an empathic and justice oriented response to the climate crisis, we need to support and honor those parts of being human that “link” - to our own inner lives, to the subjective experiences of others, to the collective lived experience of our communities, and to the environment in which we live and upon which we depend. In a culture that persistently attacks and disavows these links, we aim to recognize and support them.
