Do you work find yourself carrying grief, worry, or uncertainty about what you’re witnessing in our natural world?

Climate anxiety and ecological grief affects all of us.

Rooted in Hope: Navigating Climate Anxiety & Ecological Grief in Our Changing World offers a space to better understand these experiences and explore ways of remaining connected, grounded, and hopeful without denying the realities we face.

Through reflection, experiential practices, time in nature, and the framework of Joanna Macy's The Work That Reconnects, we’ll explore ecological grief, climate anxiety, solastalgia, our relationship with the living world, and how acknowledging our pain can reconnect us with meaning, community, resilience, and our capacity to act.

This workshop offers continuing education for counselors and social workers, but you do not need to be a mental health professional to attend. If your work—or simply your life—brings you into relationship with the natural world, you are welcome.

Because sometimes we grieve because we care. And our care can also be a source of connection, courage, and hope.

Looking for an after-school opportunity where you can get outside, learn new skills, and make a difference in your community?

Applications are open for the Fall 2026 Hustle & Grow Youth Program at Baton Roots Community Farm!

Youth ages 14–18 will spend Tuesdays after school learning about urban farming, sustainability, teamwork, and leadership through hands-on workshops and fieldwork. No gardening experience is needed—just a willingness to learn, work as a team, and get your hands dirty.
