Workshop: Field Trip—Climate Communication and Feelings

This weekly four-part workshop series on Sundays in July, facilitated by Nopal Reyes, engages climate change through various lenses: emotions, art, science and action. In each workshop we take a hands-on, community-oriented approach to communicating climate change so that we can help foster climate discussions in our personal lives. The workshop series concludes with a field trip on July 26 to a local forest, where we take our learning into the field and see what resiliency looks like in nature.

Time: 11am - 4pm
Meeting Location: Main library entrance on Grove St near Larkin St for free shuttle
Where are we going: Lake Lagunitas on Marin Water land for a 1.8 mile hike around the lake. The start of the hike involves an incline (~180ft) with the rest being mostly flat.
What to bring: lunch, closed toed shoes, pants and long sleeves, water, snacks and anything else you may need to be comfortable in the space.
Weather: 80° F is the current high

Reservations on the field trip bus were prioritized for those who attended at least one of the workshops on July 5, 12 or 19. There are still a few spaces available, open to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis. Please fill out the registration form if you'd like to attend!

We will send a confirmation email to the first 10 people who register. If you were not one of the first 10 people, we will send you a notification informing you that the shuttle bus is already full, and apologies. Please expect confirmation or notification by the end of the day of your registration.
