Climate Healing Sessions
Climate Healing Sessions—also known as Ecological Tuning Sessions—are meditative vessels for engaging with climate change, ecological grief, and love. These regularly-occurring workshops are multi-sensory experiences that bring together guided meditation, immersive sound, tactile play, & collective healing. In these trauma- and climate-informed gatherings, participants are guided through a multi-dimensional journey that invites the soul into the climate conversation. Together, we make contact with the difficult truths of our time, sink into embodied connection with nature, and awaken into action and accountability. This particular session unfolded on a late Saturday afternoon at Canal Projects.
Understanding that today’s layered environmental crises evoke a complexity of emotion, including fear, anger, grief, and powerlessness, Climate Healing Sessions offer a place for these emotions to be approached, held, healed, and channeled into deeper connection with ourselves, our environments, and each other. Through an original sound bath, a guided meditation on ecological grief and love, collective ritual, and play with natural materials, participants are invited to sink beneath their intellectual responses to climate change, and into the emotional, spiritual, embodied realm. The workshop imagines a world in which gathering to connect to our ecosystems and our roles within them is a cultural norm.

“This gathering made space for intense feelings and play, a combination that moves us into a more hopeful sphere of speculation about the future. I felt like a kid in a sandbox, very happy to be curious and playful.”
