Ecosystems of Care: A Solastalgia poetry and prose workshop
Georgia Strait Alliance
Join GSA and RAVEN for a creative workshop exploring our relationships with place, climate change, grief, belonging, and collective care.
What sustains us through times of change, when the ground beneath our feet seems strange and unreal?
Solastalgia describes the distress we feel when “home” doesn’t feel like home anymore, a sense of homesickness one feels when the places we live start changing around us.
Our lives are intricately woven into the places we inhabit, the communities we belong to, and the living, breathing world around us. As climate change transforms these relationships, how do we continue to care for one another, foster belonging, and build a just future together?
Join GSA and RAVEN for Ecosystems of Care: A Solastalgia poetry and prose workshop, a creative workshop exploring our relationships with place, climate change, grief, belonging, and collective care.
Through guided writing prompts, reflections, and discussion, we’ll explore how care flows between people, place, our more-than-human kin, and the communities we build, including the world we’ll leave for future generations. Together, we’ll reflect on the relationships that sustain us, what needs protecting and nourishing, and how creativity can help us imagine new possibilities for our communities and the places we call home.
No writing experience is needed! Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and a willingness to reflect.
