Climate Grief Conversations

GWI and Jenny Bates are holding ongoing climate grief conversations. This group will meet on the first Thursdays of the month, (though this one is on the second Thursday) at The Greenhouse 65 St. James St. on the corner of Clinton street and St. James Street in Uptown Kingston. This group is free and open to anyone who has concerns about the climate, about our City of Kingston, and who are stressed about an uncertain future.


“We are picking up distress signals, as living beings on this planet” – Jenny Bates.


Grief is not easily processed alone. The grief felt, consciously or unconsciously regarding the planet is on a scale previously unknown to our species. This series of conversations is an opportunity to share and verbalize what is felt in the context of group that will be facilitated with care, support and a sense of belonging in a confidential and fully respectful manner.


You can listen to Micah and Jenny speak on The Good Work Hour about this topic.

Day 1 Walk

We invite you and your neighbors to gather as fellow human beings and walk. Starting at Kingston Point Beach at 1pm. Ending at The Greenhouse at 65 St. James St. Following the walk we can gather to get warm, have some hot drinks and continue discussions.


This is not a protest and there is no agenda, it is just unity. We walk together in solidarity, and start over from Day 1. We put aside what divides us and focus on what unites us – our humanity. This is just one day to simply walk together.
In the face of so much that divides us, let us not forget that we are united by the bonds of our common fellowship in the human race.

Kingston: People, Places & Things Opening Reception

Carnivale

Come one come all, young and old, to a fantastical spectacle of community, celebrating nothing in particular. This is Carnivale: inefficient, non-urgent, unplanned, upside down play,in the spirit of something ancient and forgotten. A chance to improvise joy and show gratitude. Because the best resource we have is loving each other. 

Bring your own costumes, masks and instruments! Open mic for music, poetry, theater, dance, spontaneous inspiration. Let the sparks fly! Theater of The Oppressed; Bonfire; Family fun; Planting seeds, and Performances.

Free food by Tilda’s Kitchen and Beverages available by Seed Song Farm.

Carnivale was inspired by the Kingston NY Transition Group and their desire to change an uncertain future by celebrating it. An un-event of the un-expected. Hats off to the jesters!.
