Climate Journey Stream (for CAPs and emerging CAPs)

In PSC’s Climate Journey Stream we emphasise that undertaking a personal journey with climate change is central to being a Climate Aware Practitioner.

We call this group, an ‘Intervision group’ – a peer to peer group, meeting bi-monthly, designed to help you develop professionally, connect with others, share resources and further possibilities to collaborate.

This program is for anyone supporting people in the climate and ecological crisis space including; psychotherapists, counsellors, facilitators, educators, coaches, consultants, and others accountable for supporting the growth and development of others.

The group can be joined on a casual basis (no need to commit to the series). Dates for this group are:

• Monday 22 May, 6:00 – 7.30pm
• Monday 24 July, 6:00 -7.30pm
• Monday 25 Sept, 6:00 – 7.30pm
• Monday 27 Nov, 6:00 – 7.30pm

Registration for one session is $15, however for those who cannot afford it, there is an option to select the Supported rate. Equally, we encourage those with the capacity, to contribute by registering at the pay-it-forward rate, to help cover someone else’s attendance.

PSC is a Non-profit NGO with 3 part time staff and many dedicated volunteers. This Intervision group is offered at a low cost, as all our events are, to make it as accessible as possible, with the intention of growing and developing Climate Aware communities of practice in Australia.
