Event Description
Community EventsSpiritual EventsLearning & Workshops
Working in the climate space often means navigating urgency, complexity, and ongoing collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and worldviews. We are frequently asked to think systemically, communicate across difference, and build partnerships, all while carrying a heavy cognitive and emotional load.
This workshop offers a different way of engaging. In this one-hour session, participants are invited to move from thought into experience and to step into an embodied exploration of collaboration. Through a series of creative activities, participants will explore a live inquiry from their own work, noticing what emerges through body, imagination, and relational presence.
Drawing on the Creative Connection approach (Natalie Rogers), this session opens space for forms of intelligence that are often underutilized in professional settings, including relational awareness and embodied insight.
This event is part of a public follow-on workshop series tailing the 2026 Greater Victoria Climate Forum which brought together leaders from ~60 unique organizations doing climate / environment / sustainability work in the GVA.
