Climate Group
A supportive and educational group for those experiencing climate distress. This 8 week experience is designed to bring you into deep connection and enhance your resilience. Together we explore grief, ritual, narrative, the intelligence of nature, learn regenerative practices. Facilitated by Maia Kiley, licensed psychotherapist and certified ecotherapist.
Sessions include facilitated discussion, psychoeducation, guided meditation, movement, and ecotherapy.
Though this group is therapeutic and led by a licensed psychotherapist, it is not therapy. This is an educational, experiential group.
This group draws on depth psychotherapy, internal family systems, the work that reconnects (Joanna Macy), climate psychology, ecopsychology, and mindful movement practices.
Wednesdays Oct 1 - Nov 19
Location: A cozy office (TBD) in Brooklyn, NY.

This is not a therapy group.
Maia will be teaching and facilitating therapeutic practices and activities, yet will not be serving as your personal or group therapist. This is not a replacement for individual or group therapy. I’m happy to make referrals for climate-aware therapists.
Attendance
You may want to treat this group as you would a family or work commitment, a high priority. Sessions are in a particular sequence that builds on the previous one, as the group becomes deeper and more cohesive over time. You are expected to pay for all meetings even if you need to miss any of them. If you know you will miss more than 2 out of the 8 meetings, I recommend you wait to join another round.
