Climate Café - Ballarat East Neighbourhood House

At our Climate Café there is no guest speaker, no advice given, no call for action. Instead, you’ll find a supportive, facilitated conversational space for people to gather and share thoughts and feelings in response to the climate crisis. Here you can voice concerns that may not be welcomed or echoed elsewhere in your daily life. You’re invited to share with interested others how you’re really feeling at this challenging time.

There may be laughter, there may be tears. There may be fear, there may be anger. Whatever you’re feeling is okay and valued. And it’s fine just to listen. Sharing, listening and being quiet together are all part of our Café.

Gerry Fahey and Susan Nelson are the facilitators, having both completed the Climate Café training provided by Psychology for a Safe Climate.

The Ballarat East Neighbourhood House acknowledges the traditional owners of the land of Ballaarat, the Wadawurrung people.
We acknowledge their Elders, Past, Present and emerging and also acknowledge those people from other nations who, after being part of the Stolen Generations, chose to make Ballaarat their home.
