Free, informal and confidential session with trained facilitators to talk openly about thoughts and feelings around the climate emergency.
Chester Cathedral is hosting a Climate Café on Friday 6 November, starting at 6.30pm. It's an informal, facilitated session for talking openly about thoughts and feelings around the climate crisis, held in a supportive and confidential setting. The whole thing is free, though you'll need to book a ticket in advance.
If you've spent any time thinking about the climate emergency, you know how it can stir up a real tangle of emotions. Concern, frustration, anger, grief, uncertainty — and, quite often, a sense of not knowing what to do with any of it. The café is a space to explore those things alongside other people, rather than sitting with them on your own. It's not a debate or a lecture; it's a welcoming, informal room for talking through the stuff that's hard to place.
Two trained facilitators run the session, following the Climate Psychology Alliance's model. That means the conversation is guided and held in a way that keeps it supportive, so you can be as open as you like without worrying about where it's going. It's a chance to hear how others are processing the same things and to find some common ground in a room where everyone gets it.

The café is part of a wider month of events at the cathedral. Along with this, there's the immersive tour KATHARINE, inspired by the story of Katharine of Aragon; ASSEMBLE, an event exploring the future of city centres; and the cathedral's annual Christmas Tree Festival. If you're already planning to head in for one of those, this fits right in. The Climate Café runs on Friday 6 November from 6.30pm, and tickets are free to book.
