Please tell us about your work, passions and/or talents with respect to the climate or justice movement | For a little while I was part of NYPRIG in college — we were doing work around the proposed fracking project close to Binghamton. I did a little bit of study in “green feminism” and I have been working with my boyfriend to build patterns that could contribute to a zero (or less) waste household. I think I have a lot to learn, though, as I think that I experienced a great deal of climate grief while trying to educate myself. As a social worker hearing more about the importance of talking about climate change from a trauma-informed lens made sense to me on a personal and professional level. I think I could contribute to positive change with that skillset. |
What is your past experience with trauma/stress healing? | Personally: about eight years of therapy, two years in sangha, two silent meditation retreats, two years in group therapy, a lot of deeply reflective friendships, intimate relationships with people recovering from serious mental illness diagnoses, and gender transition. Honestly, I think sangha and my trans community has done the most to hold space for me to see and recognize the pain that I was going through, experience it, and then depersonalize it. (I think a lot of the work that comes intuitively as someone who is seeking out healing is highlighted really well in some bell hooks books that I have read [will to change, all about love] and the body keeps score). Professionally: I have went through a couple different workshops on trauma-informed care and anti-oppressive work. I have definitely come to find that just like Buddhism it is a practice more than a skillset that is learned. |
What are your goals for participating in this course? | 1) Have more effective and impactful ways of engaging people in climate change actions. |
What are some communities you’re a part of that might benefit from what you would be learning in this course? | NYC/Brooklyn Residents at large; I feel like TGNC/LGBTQ people in general are more socially motivated towards changing their personal behaviors for a shared value so I may be able to help motivate my LGBTQ community to act more mindfully. |
