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.

“Homecoming” is an exploration of early African American music and sound meditation as binding and healing mediums. They are stories of “The People”. This sound journey will take participants through the not-so-distant past to the present juncture of time. America has written the complete African American narrative out of history and continues to try with cries of Critical Race Theory. These songs contain a portion of the record. Several tracks are church, field, prison work, or acapella pieces. They tell the stories of a people, motivate change, and help ease the struggle of surviving extreme injustice.

As always, this Game Day we invite new folk and veterans alike, for folks wanting to try something new, explore something deep, make meaningful connections and get silly. Theatre of the Oppressed offers us the opportunity to explore a myriad of complex topics creatively, while we build community together. I will be asking the assembled community to weigh in to shape the day to best meet the needs and desires of the group in attendance. We may choose to respond to harm, to turn towards joy, to get silly, to get deep, or a combination of all of these as we get out of our heads and into our bodies. 

If this is your first time joining us, you’ll be able to jump right in and play, explore and dialogue with other participant community members. All games will be scaffolded to make sure everyone is able to participate, and I work to make sure we work together to create comfort and trust.

For more information check out The Good Work Hour, where Leigh was our guest on the Nov. 22nd 2022.
