The Climate One radio show and podcast explores the many dimensions of the climate crisis. But sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when the microphones are off—when we gather to reflect and connect in a room together. For this special in-person event, we’re doing things a little differently. Join us for a screening of the 40-minute documentary Good Grief: The 10 Steps, followed by a conversation with the filmmakers and a resource-building workshop designed to help us process, connect and support one another. This event will not be recorded.

Good Grief: The 10 Steps is a poignant and revealing documentary that delves into the transformative journey of individuals grappling with despair over climate change and the polycrisis. Centered around the Good Grief Network, an innovative peer-to-peer support program, participants lean into their painful feelings and in the process find joy, connection and a renewed sense of possibility. The film is a testament to the power of community and the potential for personal healing through shared understanding and collective action.
