🎵 Welcome Tune (optional)

We Shall Be Known by MaMuse and Thrive Choir 

🌱 Opening

Read Rachel Carson quote to open (p. 373).

💫 Check-in

Prompt: Share your name + give a brief “weather report” to express how you’re feeling. (For example, you might say “stormy” or “sunny and bright” or perhaps “it’s a tornado over here!”) Then “popcorn” to someone else. (Circle leader should go first and model this.)

☀️ Discussion

Move through 3 generous questions, ensuring everyone has a chance to share.

1. Thinking back through All We Can Save, have you glimpsed your future self in any of these writings?

2. Has anything in this book seeded new desires or plans for your participation in healing the climate crisis?

3. Where do we go from here? And with whom? (See below for some “what next” ideas.)

📓 Journal Prompt

Offer the following journal prompt, for those who may want to reflect and write on.

Prompt: How do you define climate leadership now?

🔧 Workplace Exploration (optional)

First, revisit the prompt from the last session.

Prompt: Was anyone able to take up the workplace exploration prompt from our last session, around roles and responsibilities? What did you learn?

Then, offer this next prompt for exploration between this session and the next one. (You may also want to email/message it.)

Prompt: In advance of session 11, focused on “what next” in your workplace, read “Climate Solutions at Work” by Drawdown Labs. Reflect on what has surfaced through all the workplace explorations. Is there a particular area of climate action at work that you feel drawn to?

🌙 Closing

Prompt: Share 1 word that speaks to your Circle experience. Then “popcorn” to someone else. Finally, read Adrienne Rich quote to close (p. 374).
