 :\n\nThe rational approach taken during this series of ‘Climate and Cons
 ciousness’ events makes it accessible to everyone. We will emphasise the
  subject of attachments and how these unquestioned attachments are the rea
 l cause of our suffering. With this in mind\, the meditation practices are
  aimed at attaining internal freedom.\n\nThe events promotes a spiritual h
 igh ground\, whilst making it easy and practical for the novice to learn t
 he steps to start the process. These are necessary tools to deal with the 
 ups and downs on this rollercoaster of life.\n\nKeynote Speaker: Chloe Gre
 enwood\n\nChloe Greenwood is a medical doctor who worked in General Practi
 ce\, Psychiatry and Psychotherapy for 28 years. She worked at the Human Ri
 ghts charity ‘Freedom from Torture’\, as Head of Doctors. Chloe is an 
 Interfaith Minister\, Spiritual intelligence coach\, and an advocate of De
 ep Adaptation\, a model to help us to navigate these difficult times for t
 he Earth and humanity. \n\nDeep Adaptation is an approach founded by Jem B
 endell\, Professor of Sustainability at Lancaster University. His research
  paper\, published in July of 2018\, concluded “Recent research suggests
  that human societies will experience disruptions to their basic functioni
 ng within less than ten years due to climate stress. A new approach which 
 explores how to reduce harm and not make matters worse is important to dev
 elop.” The essence of his Deep Adaptation Agenda is to explore what we c
 an do differently\, given a new- found awareness of more recently availabl
 e information on climate change and its implications. It expands the mains
 tream environmental movement’s focus on mitigation (e.g. lowering CO2 em
 issions) to considering how we can adapt to a coming climate tragedy.\n\nK
