Circles
Are you hungry for deeper dialogue about the climate crisis and building community around solutions? We are too. That’s why we created All We Can Save Circles — like a book club, but a cooler, deeper, extended version. Let’s strengthen the “we” in All We Can Save. Circles were created by Dr. Katharine Wilkinson.

From past Circles participants & leaders
“It literally changed my life and made me feel seen and heard in a way I never have before. I finally feel like I have a place in the climate movement.”
“This group has become a safe haven— everyone had been feeling alone and paralyzed in their climate grief, but the communal support has been transformative
Through the book, each woman found a different area of the work that felt like the right niche for her.”
“I started a Circle with a group of women and it is saving my life. We only meet monthly but it gives me hope and connection and brings me joy.”
