Take a Live Online Course with Sarah

Caroline Hickman will examine a range of approaches we can use in the therapy room, at home, in school and outdoors to support clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and dreams about the climate and biodiversity crisis. This session will look at a range of practical and imaginal approaches including art, storytelling, play and personification, and explore climate-aware therapy including the move from therapeutic dyad (between therapist & client) to the therapeutic triad (between therapist, client, and the planet).

What are the aftereffects of receiving emotional, verbal, psychological, sexual or physical violence? What happens to brains when they endure long periods of time, trapped in a situation where violence is being done? How does “ordinary” PTSD differ from complex PTSD? How can we tell the difference, and how does our healing approach differ between the two? What should we look out for, and how can we distinguish the signs of healing? Join Sarah Peyton to explore constellation possibilities for clients struggling with Complex PTSD. 

What insights can relational neuroscience give us into gentrification and its impacts? What are the systemic and personal implications? Join Sarah for this 90 minute exploration. Come ready to have your brain remodeled. Recommended reading: How to Kill a City by Peter Moskowitz.

Drawing from 14 years of working with people on the frontlines of climate change, and interweaving personal experiences with leading global research, Dr. Ashlee Cunsolo delves into diverse expressions of ecological grief and loss, and explores how the ‘gift of grief’ and ‘gritty hope’ can foster deeper relational connections with humans and more-than-humans, and furnish new ethical and political communities. We need not carry our planetary pain and sorrow in isolation; instead, we can mobilize our grief for collective-building, for for activism, and for personal and planetary healing.

Priya Shukla will be talking about the relationship between humanity, the food we fetch from the sea, the role of oysters in our ecosystems and diets, and how climate change hangs over it all.

Anxiety has been shown to be an unnamed pain, which can start to shift once it has been identified and resonated with. If we don’t know the neuroscience mysteries behind anxiety, it is harder to support our clients. Join Sarah Peyton to explore constellation possibilities for clients struggling with anxiety. 

This talk will focus on a different way of approaching climate science communication with tools that including relating, listening, working with conflict, and understanding trauma, all with an eye toward justice and community care as covered in Kearns’ recent book, Getting to the Heart of Science Communication (Island Press, 2021).
