More Information:

The rational approach taken during this series of ‘Climate and Consciousness’ events makes it accessible to everyone. We will emphasise the subject of attachments and how these unquestioned attachments are the real cause of our suffering. With this in mind, the meditation practices are aimed at attaining internal freedom.

The events promotes a spiritual high ground, whilst making it easy and practical for the novice to learn the steps to start the process. These are necessary tools to deal with the ups and downs on this rollercoaster of life.

Keynote Speaker: Chloe Greenwood

Chloe Greenwood is a medical doctor who worked in General Practice, Psychiatry and Psychotherapy for 28 years. She worked at the Human Rights charity ‘Freedom from Torture’, as Head of Doctors. Chloe is an Interfaith Minister, Spiritual intelligence coach, and an advocate of Deep Adaptation, a model to help us to navigate these difficult times for the Earth and humanity.

Deep Adaptation is an approach founded by Jem Bendell, Professor of Sustainability at Lancaster University. His research paper, published in July of 2018, concluded “Recent research suggests that human societies will experience disruptions to their basic functioning within less than ten years due to climate stress. A new approach which explores how to reduce harm and not make matters worse is important to develop.” The essence of his Deep Adaptation Agenda is to explore what we can do differently, given a new- found awareness of more recently available information on climate change and its implications. It expands the mainstream environmental movement’s focus on mitigation (e.g. lowering CO2 emissions) to considering how we can adapt to a coming climate tragedy.
