Underlying is an exploration of the emotions we experience as we contemplate the concept and realities of climate change. In Laurel’s words, “I wonder where our hearts and minds are as individuals, as a community, and as a society as we move towards irreversible ecological changes. Are we in a state of shock? Are we scared, angry or ashamed? Are we grieving? Are we just now awakening to the situation?” By asking these questions and sharing our responses with a variety of individuals and communities, Laurel believes we can learn important things about how we process realities, discover ways to cope, and find balance with each other and with our world.
