Climate Grief Conversations

GWI and Jenny Bates are holding ongoing climate grief conversations.

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.

Just Transition in Action

Along with ON PAR (Arlington Partners Against Racism) and Partners for Climate Action Hudson Valley, we invite you to Poughkeepsie to join with others working toward environmental and social justice for a day of experiential learning about Just Transition and ways we can move toward a regenerative economy.

Perhaps you’ve heard about Just Transition but wonder: What does that really mean? What would it look like on the ground, in our region? How do we do it? This workshop facilitates a community of co-learners to explore what Just Transition means in our heads and our hearts, and to generate energy and ideas for how we can take action to help move much-needed changes forward. As those who work on social justice and those who work on climate/environmental justice learn and share a meal together, we come into closer relationships and communication with one another, expanding who we know and exploring shared values in a learning community. The opportunity to share our perspectives and support each other to deepen our understanding in connecting ways makes this the kind of learning experience that stays with you. Here’s a comment on the workshop from a past participant:

A workshop to wake up to the depth and breadth of the shifts happening, and what to look out for. – Sarah V.

Through interactive exercises, reflection, discussion, hands-on creativity, movement-based activities, inspiring examples, and compelling media, you will experience: 

  • How resources and work are combined to realize contrasting purposes in extractive and regenerative economies
  • Stories of existing alternatives and possible futures that can liberate our imaginations
  • Insight into ways we can move from where we are to the future we are committed to 
  • A sense of how we can involve ourselves in working toward change 
  • Space to clarify your role and commit to one or more next steps in contributing to Just Transition
  • Accountability to yourself and your action intentions beyond the time we spend together in the workshop

BLOK Party

We’re having a BLOK Party (Black & Brown Liberation of Kingston)! Come out to The Greenhouse for a night of music and art by BIPOC artists from the Hudson Valley. 

There will be music performances throughout the night, and handmade items for sale. Our vendors include soap, essential oil products, ceramics, paintings, jewelry, and more!

The exhibit by Shirley Parker-Benjamin and Onaje Benjamin is on display and available for sale as well. 

We are committed to uplifting the work of BIPOC artists, creators and makers as part of the Just Transition framework.

We have made the decision to require masks at this indoor event. Depending on the weather, parts of the event will be outdoors, but with the rising number of cases and increased transmissibility, we will be requiring masks. We will be asking people to eat or drink outdoors if weather allows, or to socially distance while eating or drinking, and to replace masks as soon as you’re done. Let’s keep everyone safe so we can do this again. Thanks.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! No registration needed.

Join us for the closing of the exhibit on view at the GWI Greenhouse (65 St. James Street, Kingston).
