Rebecca Solnit on #ClimateCrisis : "Each shift makes more shifts possible. But only if we go actively toward the possibilities rather than passively into the collapse." Working through collapse/denial/anxiety is a #somatic practice to embody our future.

Climate change is trauma. We have to heal this trauma to face the predicament. Grateful for this piece and looking forward to the next one in the series.

[Em Wright (they/them) @WrightTheWorld]
