Public Programs And Events

We are bombarded with shocking images of extreme weather and its devastating impacts. All life as well as what we build to protect ourselves is being uprooted, shattered. The already vulnerable are hit hardest. And we are being called on to respond to this new world.

How can we answer the call when we have cut ourselves off from fully ‘taking in’ this collective social-injustice and ecological challenge? How can we imagine what it is to have everything torn away from us by the very Elements we thought we had insulated ourselves from: fierce winds, torrential waters, mudslides, earthquakes, and raging, consuming fires.

Come experience on your own terms without crowds or observers the voices of those who have experienced Climate Disaster and Injustice in a place where you can Speak-EZ.
