Young Adult Climate Crisis Retreat

30 September - 2 October 2022, Birmingham

Taking action on the climate crisis can be exhausting. Are you feeling burnt out, anxious or spiritually depleted? This retreat in the tranquil setting at Woodbrooke will bring like-minded young people together to reflect, relax and recharge our spiritual and mental batteries.

Whether you protest on the streets, campaign for policy change locally or nationally or encourage your community to make changes to the way they do things, after a while it is easy to feel dispirited or tired or just worn out.

Faith can help you to keep going but from time to time you need to replenish your spiritual resources. You need to remind yourself why you are doing the work and take some time to focus on self-care so you are ready to go out into the world again.

This weekend retreat gives you the opportunity, space and time to do that with like-minded people in a beautiful setting. There will be time to be together and to be alone. There will be activities that nourish you spiritually, creatively and mentally. You will also have the opportunity to talk to a facilitator one-to-one.
