Climate Distress, Emotional Resiliency, and Collaborative Action

With more of us awakening to the reality of the climate crisis, our collective psyche is experiencing a huge emotional toll, with distress rising in tandem with climate impacts. Climate psychology helps us channel eco-anxiety, eco-grief, and rage into action, and develop emotional strategies to stay engaged in climate solutions without becoming overwhelmed or burned-out.

Climate Psychology brings a relevant understanding of complex human behavior to environmental sustainability efforts, exploring the intersectionality of climate, psychology, education, social justice, media, and policy. Individuals, communities, and organizations can cultivate effective tools for building resiliency and leveraging the full range of our human capacities toward addressing the deep challenges of our times.

Leslie Davenport leads the Climate Psychology Certification Training at the California Institute of Integral Studies and is a climate psychology consultant with offices in Tacoma, WA and the San Francisco Bay Area.

“It’s often assumed that imagination is a fantasy flight away from reality. But paradoxically, Transformative Imagery is just the opposite. The practice ushers us into deep inner spaciousness where we experience the immediacy of the Present, bringing into focus the Real which dwells within.”
