Centre for Climate Psychology

Nurturing collective wisdom in times of collective upheaval

Psychology in times of ecological disruption

The Centre for Climate Psychology offers online training, workshops and events that bring regenerative disturbance to embedded habits of thinking whilst nurturing collective resilience, trauma aware leadership and psychological adaptability in a time of global upheaval.

Largely invisible cultural assumptions act like an adhesive glue, that moulds everything into the same familiar patterns. Changing the way we see things is therefore one of the most powerful leverage points for systems change.

We recognise that our lives and our Psyche are interwoven with the anima mundi - the soul of the world.

Our mission is therefore to foster a rich diversity of psychological and soulful responses to the metacrisis - responses that go beyond the mere correction of what is visible and measurable on the surface and transcend the narrow aim of functioning symptom-free within the dominant paradigm.

An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Tending the Losses of Everyday Life w/ Francis Weller

An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Tending the Losses of Everyday Life w/ Francis Weller

This presentation will explore the elements of an Apprenticeship with Sorrow. Through the rites of grief, we are ripened as human beings. Grief invites gravity and depth into our world, urging us to understand it not only as an emotion but as a core faculty of being human. This apprenticeship is, at its heart, about crafting elders capable of meeting the pain and suffering of the world with a dignified and robust bearing. This is soul activism—intended to foster deep cultural change.
