Event Description

You can only create the world you can imagine.

For climate practitioners, that imagination has taken a hit. Somewhere between management strategies and mounting fear, we lost the awe and wonder that once shaped our relationship with nature. This workshop is how we find our way back.

Nerdy, intense, and unapologetically hopeful, this session starts with a theoretical framework followed by group experimentation. The result? A magical realism climate fiction story, written together in the room. The goal is to replace helplessness with individual agency, and fear with the kind of wonder that comes quite naturally to us.

Fifteen front-row seats to imagination as practice.
