Workshop

Transform Your
Climate Anxiety Into Action

Dates to be announced

Join Anastasija Štelmane For This Virtual Adventure

Once, we thought of ourselves as warriors in a never-ending battle against the climate crisis, armed with facts and figures, ready to defend against rising temperatures and environmental decay.

Our focus was on fighting, on resisting a future that seemed to spiral out of control.

Yet, in this stance of constant conflict, we overlooked a crucial truth:

The real power lies not in battling what we fear but in building what we dream!

Transform your approach to climate engagement with my workshops!

Join me every Saturday for a series of four workshops, followed by a month-long challenge leading into a year of actionable change.

These workshops are designed to shift our focus from climate crisis and anxiety to climate hope and collective action, building a community that supports, engages, and inspires each other towards a sustainable future.
