A space to speak freely about your feelings around the climate crisis

Climate Cafe Sharing Circle - central Winchester (venue tbc)

Our Climate Café Sharing Circle offers a calm, welcoming setting where you can share whatever you’re feeling about our changing world, and be heard by others doing the same.

A Climate Café is a gentle container for the feelings we might struggle to voice elsewhere. Fear. Grief. Anger. Helplessness. Numbness. The kinds of emotions that can feel too big, too taboo, or too much for everyday conversation . Talking about these feelings helps us feel grounded and connected in a world that feels uncertain.

The word "café" evokes the warmth of sharing a drink with others. The word "circle" reflects how we gather: as equals, without hierarchy, without an agenda beyond listening and being listened to. There are no guest speakers, no talks, and no advice. It is, quite deliberately, an advice-free zone.

Our circles are open to anyone aged 18 or over who is affected by the climate and ecological crisis. The session will be guided by two trained facilitators. We hold the space guided by values of care, respect, and confidentiality.

This is the first Climate Cafe to be held in Winchester and with enough demand we hope it will continue.
