With the accelerated pace of the climate crisis, ecological collapse, and political and economic turmoil, how do we practice staying active and awake? Join us for a focused exploration of these questions in this wild collective moment.
*
Facilitators Joanna Calabrese and Emily Fasten will guide a ritual called the Truth Mandala, a proven practice created by Buddhist Ecologist and Activist Joanna Macy.
*
Over the course of this three-hour ritual we’ll create a space for intentionally facing our sorrows for the earth. We will confront and honor our denial, rage, anger, fear, grief, and despair for the planet, with the goal of finding renewed energy for continued action.
*
This ritual helps us feel more free, more integrated, and more able to continue to work toward meaningful change, all while cultivating connection and community with like-hearted people.
*
We are glad to offer a respite from the constant and very important “doing” of everyday life to come into “being” with grief, complexity, and emotional charge.
*
This experience is a good fit for anyone experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, confusion, or even just curiosity around how to engage with the climate emergency and the interconnected global emergencies of this moment.
*
The Center SF offers us a welcoming and supremely comfortable venue for this vital work. Join us!

About the Facilitators
*
Joanna and Emily are two therapist colleagues and friends who believe that rituals are a critical climate solution. Adapting our psyches to climate change is as important as adapting the land with stronger sea walls and power-grids. Emotional resilience is needed to steward our human energy and creative capacities NOW when they are most needed. They are dedicated to raising awareness about the psychological and emotional impacts of climate change.
*
Joanna Calabrese (she/her)is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in Northern California. A former political advocate turned therapist, she spent nearly two decades lobbying for climate and sustainability policies on Capitol Hill, at universities, and for grassroots nonprofits. Today she runs a private therapy practice and offers groups and gatherings focused on cultivating emotional and psychological resilience in the midst of the climate crisis. She draws from her training in eco therapy, Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects, Francis Weller’s Sacred Grief Work, and experience participating in rites of passage work in hosting this ritual.

一數

A few hundred metres from San Francisco&#39;s pier, Alcatraz was once the hardest-core prison in the United States, and after the prison closed in the 1960s, Alcatraz was occupied by Native Americans for nineteen months, and the island&#39;s social hall was burned down. Alcatraz became the Golden Gate National Amusement Park, designated as a national historical landmark in 1986, including the burned social hall, which is 15 minutes by boat from San Francisco.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Golden Gate Bridge

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
