Climate Cafe Conversations - Share your feelings about the climate and ecological emergency
2024-01-24 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-02-28 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-03-27 19:00 - 20:30 | SEA Climate Hub, Clinton Place
What to expect
Perhaps you have begun to worry about what is happening to our climate and what this might mean for you and your family and friends, also for other species. Or maybe you are an activist or professional in the climate field, used to feeling the pain of climate grief or eco-anxiety and keeping it at bay by all the work you do.
The focus of discussion in a Climate Café is participant’s immediate thoughts and feelings, rather than what we are doing (or not doing) about it. In a word we make space for the trouble, instead of merely wishing it away. It is a simple, friendly hospitable space where fears, uncertainties and other difficult feelings can be safely expressed and acknowledged. This allows for a conversation without pre-set themes or objectives in mind, other than how you are affected by the climate emergency and related biodiversity crisis.
That this is happening for real is taken as read. Accordingly it is NOT an event for arguing about the validity of the science. It is also an advice-free zone with no pressure to take action, join a group or change your mind on anything.
You may on a previous occasion, in some other context, have felt shut down when you have tried to voice your concerns. Perhaps someone else found the topic too difficult or challenging. With this in mind Climate Cafes have 5 simple guidelines:

Say what you really, actually feel
Take it in turns to speak. Be mindful of how much space you are taking up; and try not to interrupt others.
Observe confidentiality i.e. you don’t report what others said to third parties who were not present.
Listen and take an interest in other’s views, and don’t try to impose your own.
Silence is fine. So is anger. Tears also have a place.

The Little Green Cinema presents 'Six inches of soil'
2024-06-02 15:00 - 18:00 | St James Trust, Blatchington Road, Seaford
Join us for our last film of the season and by popular demand ‘Six Inches of Soil’.
We will be joined this time by two experts, Ben Hansell from High Farm in Woodingdean and Michael Kennard from ‘The Compost Club’ in Brighton who will be taking part in a Q&A after the film, discussing the film and the part they both play in local farming and soil regeneration.
Six Inches of Soil is a story of courage, vision and hope.
The film, Six Inches of Soil, tells the story of remarkable farmers, communities, small businesses, chefs and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to transform how our food is produced and consumed. It tells the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food – to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
As always the film will be preceded by a sumptuous afternoon tea with free tea/coffee and cakes.
“An excellent film really put well together, told the journey, told the story. Brilliant to see young people, the next generation coming forward with enthusiasm and knowing we’re in safe hands in farming.” — Martin Howlett, Farmer.
