Climate café agreements

1. We reside in a sense of openness and curiosity.
2. We do not try to fix or offer solutions - stay with ‘I’ statements. 
3. We choose active listening and presence - minimise distractions, and do not interrupt others when they are speaking.
4. We keep each other confidential - stories live on within us, and names stay within this group. We must also respect each person’s unique experience.
5. We participate at our comfort level, mindful of balanced participation, sharing as much or as little of your story/self as you would like.
6. Check in to see how you are showing up and what responsibility you can take to meet your needs. 
7. Moments of silence are welcome and are often a part of a climate cafe.
8. The café is a place to share feelings about the climate crisis to whatever degree is comfortable, but it is NOT a clinical or therapy space. We will offer further support resources after the café if you need them.
