Climate Cafe

Join us as we gather to hold space for each other to share our thoughts and feelings about climate breakdown. We each have unique experiences and perspectives to offer about how this crisis affects us, our loved ones, and our human -- and more than human -- family around the world.

As we continue to fight the corporate and political causes of climate change, it’s important to have spaces like this to share and connect in community. Climate Cafes are based on deep listening and empathy.

XRNYC will offer Climate Cafes monthly on the 4th Thursday from 7-8:30PM, facilitated by Susan Spieler.

Suggested donation $10; no one turned away!
