“CULTIVATIONS: Ritual, Discussion and Action for a Livable Future.”

A card deck serves as the jumping-off point for a workshop designed to help us face our environmental concerns and move toward community, connection, and action. We’ll perform some fun rituals, have some heartfelt discussions, and do some simple actions to help us move toward a just and livable future. This is an in-person workshop for anyone concerned about the environment, anyone anxious about the future of the planet, and anyone who wants to connect around these important issues. You don’t need to bring anything, but a smartphone or laptop could be useful as we move into the “action” part of the workshop. Facilitator Dave Ratzlow is a Brooklyn-based writer and activist. This card deck was partially inspired by his 16-year participation in an international peer counseling community focusing on the mental health aspects of social and environmental justice.
