Climate Wayfinding: Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home is a newly published book by Katharine Wilkinson, co-editor of All We Can Save and Drawdown. It is a compassionate, empowering guide that helps readers move from climate grief and overwhelm to meaningful action and direction. This book is designed to be read together, building community and support as we learn to navigate the climate crisis. It features interactive elements like journaling prompts, practical exercises, and conversation guides.
This group will meet for 8 sessions, one for each chapter. Participants will read the chapter beforehand, spending 1-2 hours each week on reading, journaling, and self-reflection. We will then come together to discuss the chapter and engage in group explorations. If you don’t have the book yet, please contact your local library to order it.
For anyone who feels grief, overwhelm, frustration, and a desire to come together to process what is happening locally and globally, this group is for you.
About the Facilitator: Liza (she/her) has been involved in the eco-crisis since she was a teenager, witnessing the vast harm to our landscapes: open-pit mines, clear-cutting, dams, and bottom trawling our oceans. After completing a degree in botany, ecology, and conservation, she connected with the spiritual path and spent two decades learning about how we really heal. In 2018, she completed a traditional three-year, three-month meditation retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and taught as an Associate Lama for 4 years. She is now completing her graduate studies in mental health counseling at Prescott College, with an emphasis on ecotherapy, somatic and emotion-based therapy, and is a student intern at Liberation Institute. She also has availability for individual counseling sessions if desired. Liza is supervised by Brad Byrum T2185
