If we can’t feel, we can’t deal with change.
Throughout history, ‘apocalypse’ was used to inspire fear of the future. Now, people are using the word—some lightly, some seriously—to describe the present.
Along with climate change, certain political, economic, and social systems that once felt stable are eroding. Whether we call it ‘apocalypse,’ ‘climate catastrophe,’ or ‘polycrisis,’ we’re losing the building blocks of our lives: The pattern of seasons. The security of home. The ability to trust. Confidence that the future will be better than the past.
These losses are profound. They leave us overwhelmed, hopeless, afraid, bewildered, numb. And while our reactions are completely reasonable, they’re not sustainable.
What will sustain us? Care, rooted in the original meaning of apocalypse: To reveal.
This time is revealing so much—in the world, and in us. How can we be present to what is, and what could be? How can we live, with soft and courageous hearts?
Let’s explore these questions together. We’ll make sure you can see beyond fear. We’ll give you a space in which to catch your breath. And we’ll figure out how you can respond—not simply react—to living in a time of great change.
