In the spring of 2025, conversation groups will continue in Oslo and Trondheim. We aim to create a safe space for sharing experiences, thoughts, and feelings related to the ongoing ecological crisis. The conversation groups are based on the understanding that psychological and existential reactions to the ongoing ecological crisis should not be viewed as pathological, but as a rational response to a real problem. Key concepts include "wonder rather than solutions," coping strategies, and self-care. We hope that shared reflection can help you feel less alone in your anxiety and help support emotionally sustainable engagement.
We will meet weekly in the afternoons over a period of 3-5 weeks. The gatherings will have a flexible format but will typically have a theme (feelings, responsibility, relationships, etc.) and will consist of a check-in, a longer group discussion, and a reflection exercise. The meetings will be facilitated by two professionals and will last 1.5 hours. Participation is FREE, and light refreshments will be provided.
Nature Conversations take place at the Green Office, Blindern campus on Thursdays from 17:00-18:30. Start date: September 19th. SIGN UP HERE.
Nature Conversations take place outdoors at Dragvoll NTNU on Mondays from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM but will be moved indoors if the weather does not allow it. Start date: March 24th, or alternatively March 31st – more information will be sent by email after registration. We welcome participants of all ages who speak Norwegian and/or English. SIGN UP HERE.
Nature Conversations is a collaboration between Green Office (UiO), the Student Humanist at UiO and NTNU, and members of the Norwegian Psychological Associations Climate Committee. We also collaborate with the Climate Psychological Youth Association, which has had success with similar programs in Denmark.
