Climate Grief Conversations

GWI and Jenny Bates are holding ongoing climate grief conversations. This group will meet on the first Thursdays of the month 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.

Hudson Valley Prosperity Network Meeting

Come and learn about the history of our network, where we are going, and how you can plug in. Plus, we will have a special showcase of bioregional businesses to contribute to the conversation about building a regenerative local economy. This will be the first in a 4-part series aiming to mobilize a valley-wide shift towards bioregional economics.

The Hudson Valley Prosperity Network (HVPN) is focused on developing a shared understanding of what a resilient economy looks like, and how to build it with our local communities. We believe that the current economic system is in need of a radical re-imagining and restructuring as we look to leverage the tools of community finance to create a more just local economy.

No RSVP necessary, free and open to all.

Authentic Movement

Using simple templates that create connection with all participants and a safe circle, we will practice deep listening to ourselves and each other. The structure of Authentic Movement invites us to move (eyes closed) from inner motivation, and also witness our experience of observing human expression.  Everyone will have time to be in both roles – witness and mover. Collectively there is time for writing/drawing and verbal sharing of our experiences.  
Participants are asked to arrive promptly and stay until the closing circle. Bring your own writing and drawing supplies.Please refrain from wearing scents/perfumes.
