UUYACJ Movement Training Workshop Series

Saturday, March 26th

Saturday, April 2nd

Saturday, April 9th

This workshop series was inspired by this year’s Spring For Change theme, “Get Rooted, Get Ready.” It is a space for young adults who are looking to deepen their connection to activism and build tangible skills into their justice work. The goal of these workshops is to explore how we can center care practices in our justice organizing — care for ourselves, each other, and the Earth. The climate crisis has been exacerbated by a culture of profit, extraction, and exploitation; we must respond differently. Working from a radical context of care empowers us to work as resilient communities and helps prevent burnout.

We have an amazing group of people that will be presenting this workshop series. UUYACJ is deeply grateful to have these people as accomplices in our fight for climate justice.

Spiraling In and Out of Eco-Grief
Saturday, March 26th (3pm ET/ 2pm CT/ 1pm MT/ 12pm PT)

Led by Rev. Karen Johnston and Rev. Stacy Craig, this workshop uses the structure of the four-point spiral from the Work That Reconnects to name, explore, and move through the grief we all experience in the face of the climate crisis. Using poetry, videos, and small group exercises, this workshop asks you to face your fear for the planet, not to be consumed by it, but in order to move through it.
