Mapping the Climate and Ecological Emergency 8.00-10.00 am 30th November

Dear CAT colleagues 

We had a well-attended meeting on 20th October 2021 to see if there was enthusiasm in the global CAT community for setting up a Special Interest Group through ICATA and ACAT and other national CAT associations.  Thirty five people attended from across the globe, with representatives from the UK, Spain, Finland, Australia and New Zealand. We had rich and stimulating dialogues, talking in small groups, as well as sharing our thoughts and feelings in plenary discussions, and hearing presentations about people’s various experiences of relating to the CEE.   Key themes were active hope, working with our varieties of feelings, and wondering about how we could use CAT as a relational model to help formulate the problems of binary and polarised thinking, climate doom and shaming processes as well as denial, despair and paralysis.

For our next meeting we would like to build on the work of this…
