Branch - Poirier

Poirier Nancy Bennett Room

Join us to learn how we can build the muscle of climate resilience before disaster happens for us to be cognitively prepared and learn daily actionable steps for climate action. Registration required.

Our world is getting increasingly complex. Fires have increased 1000% over the last 5 years becoming larger, more frequent and more widespread. Climate change is increasing the intensity of extreme weather across the globe including hail, damaging  winds and flash floods. When faced with this new reality, your brain shuts down  because the scale of the problem feels insurmountable.

This session is being coordinated for raising awareness and support for the Climate Action Week ( Nov 1 - Nov 7, 2025) by BCLA Climate Committee.


Learn what your brain and nervous system need to build your “rally” muscle. It is important to build the muscle of climate resilience before disaster happens so
that we can be cognitively prepared. Discover daily actionable steps you can take to get unstuck and turn your climate despair into climate action.

Workshop topics include:

  • Individual & collective resiliency skills
  • Individual & community efficacy
  • Climate wayfinding
  • Disaster planning
  • Nature therapy

Registration is highly recommended.


Workshop Facilitator Bio:

Christine Coles teaches sustainability theory to design degree students at LaSalle College. With an MSc in the Theory & Practice of Sustainable Design, Christine has worked on net zero buildings as an energy advisor and Designer.
