🌱 Roots of Resilience: A Community Workshop to Cultivate Strength, Connection, and Purpose

Hosted by Brian Peacock, PsyD of the ALT-G Therapy Group, this discussion-based workshop offers a space to reflect, connect, and build community resilience in a time of climate distress, political tension, and uncertainty.

We’ll explore climate and social emotions, engage in a structured community process group, complete an Action Identity Venn Diagram, create a personal resilience plan, and connect with local community efforts.

Inspired by the climate-emotion frameworks of Jon Gorman, PsyD, this workshop emphasizes groundedness, meaning-making, and collective care.

📅 Feb 3 | ⏰ 7–9pm | 📍 Rowan Tree (Baltimore)
All are welcome.
