Poesis is a new kind of community space in York where people of all ages come together to explore what it means to be human during this time of profound planetary change. We’re creating a place that’s part cultural hub, part learning space, and part community living room - where you can belong. Through meaningful dialogue, hands-on workshops, and simply being together, we’re finding ways to engage with both global challenges and our inner lives, as a community.

Strategic Adaptation For Emergency Resilience (“SAFER”) with Rupert Read

We are deep into the danger zone and about to go much deeper. The meta-crisis - of which the climate crisis is merely the leading edge - is already upon us. It will increasingly define the rest of our lives and the lives of those who come after us.

With its new campaign Strategic Adaptation For Emergency Resilience, "SAFER", the Climate Majority Project is calling for an end to the delusion that our current civilisation has a future. By instead embracing a spirit of transformative and strategic adaptation we could, even now, co-create a new civilisation. In this interactive session Rupert will invite us to explore a variety of questions such as ‘What are the consequences of this realisation, including the practical implications for how we re-plan our lives?’
