Anxiety is a natural human response to stress. And as creatures of nature, the stress being placed on our environment is filling many of us with fear and worry. This workshop enables you to come to terms in accepting climate and ecological anxiety by re-centering your ‘mind, body and soul’ allowing you to turn that anxiety into agency. Join mindfulness and well-being practitioners in practical activities leaving you feeling in control of your thoughts, ready to channel your energy into actions that you, personally, can take.
