Finding Calm in the Storm: A Workshop on Climate Anxiety and Love for Our Planet
April 18 & 21, 2023

In the face of climate change, the scale and severity of this global crisis can leave you overcome with a sense of despair and impending doom. This overwhelm is called climate anxiety, and can manifest as paralysis, panic, apathy, and hopelessness.

There will be two separate workshops:

• The workshop on April 18, from 12-1pm, will be held at the USC Peace Garden
