As a participant in Nature Conversations, you are invited into a safe space to share experiences, thoughts, and feelings connected to the ongoing ecological crisis.
The conversations are based on the understanding that feeling anxiety in response to the ongoing ecological crisis is a healthy reaction to a real problem. We hope that shared reflection can help you feel less alone and support emotionally sustainable engagement.
Nature Conversations were first held for the first time in autumn 2024 in both Oslo and Trondheim. In spring and fall 2025 we followed up the success in both cities. We are now planning the conversation groups for the spring of 2026.
Nature Conversations are held weekly over a period of 3–5 weeks. Each gathering will have a theme (emotions, responsibility, relationships, etc.) and include a check-in, a mindfulness exercise, an exploratory group conversation and a check-out. The meetings are facilitated by two professionals and last 1.5 hours. Participation is free, and light refreshments are provided.
Nature Conversations take place at Grønt kontor, Blindern campus. Start date not yet set. SIGN UP HERE.
This spring Nature Conversations will also be held outdoors at Lian, or indoors at Gløshaugen. The start date is 10th of march, with conversations also held the following two weeks: 17th and 24th of march. SIGN UP HERE.
Natursamtaler will host a campfire talk at the Norwegian Association for Outdoor Therapy’s CAMP Conference.
We hosted two Nature Conversations workshops during the Nature and Climate Festival in Trondheim Naturligvis.
Nature Conversations is a collaboration between Green Office (UiO), the Student Humanist at UiO and NTNU, members of the Norwegian Psychological Associations Climate Committee and other climate engaged people. We also collaborate with the Climate Psychological Youth Association, which has had success with similar programs in Denmark.
