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
