1 day climate change workshop

This is a workshop that enables people to take time out to reflect on our personal values and how these connect to the climate change debate. So much media coverage of climate change concerns the science and the things we are told that we ought to do. But many of the media messages are confusing. Is climate change real or do the sceptics have a point? Why the fuss about the small things we should do as individuals, when governments so often seem to be making things worse, not better? Then again isn't climate change simply the greatest challenge to the values of the western world that there has ever been?

At a symbolic level, seeking meaning, clarifying our values and acknowledging our emotions are all activities that honour the water element. This event will offer a space for the missing water in the climate change debate. In the course of the day we will explore what it is that human beings need for their development? What are our core human values? How do they relate to what we know about the economy? Against this background what does sustainable development mean for us?

By making space for reflection and sharing, we can gain greater clarity and coherence of values, feelings and priorities. The event is potentially a precursor to action and participants may be moved to take action individually or collectively as a result of this event.

What better way then to cool down our overheated planet than by spending time with water!

This course will be held on Sunday 14th October 2007
