Join CPA-NA's bi-monthly drop-in conversation called “Linking Conversations.” We will think and talk together about what’s happening in the world–such as extreme weather, political moments, and cultural flashpoints–and about linking thought and action, being and doing, the internal and external worlds. Through these conversations, we hope create links that will help us bear the weight of climate change and find spaciousness from which to act.
This Month's Suggested Topic:
Community Resilience
Given what may feel like a shared experience of rapid change, how might community serve us?
Our social connections and our ability to relate to and with one another are essential for mental health and overall well being, both individually and collectively. Within community, we can foster new ideas and perspectives necessary for adaptation, resilience, relative safety and a sense of belonging.
How might we create and nurture such spaces to gather?

The conversations are founded on the idea that to build an empathic and justice oriented response to the climate crisis, we need to support and honor those parts of being human that “link” - to our own inner lives, to the subjective experiences of others, to the collective lived experience of our communities, and to the environment in which we live and upon which we depend. In a culture that persistently attacks and disavows these links, we aim to recognize and support them.
