Join us as we host local author Suzanne Crawford O’Brien for a special launch of her new book Climate Anxiety and Spiritual Resilience: A Guide To Kinship, Justice and Hope. All are welcome to join and the event will be followed with Q & A and a book signing.

About The Book

While climate change is often framed as an ecological, political, or economic challenge, I argue that it is also a spiritual crisis. Drawing on climate psychology, Indigenous knowledge, and diverse religious traditions, I consider why despair and overwhelm can impede action—and how practices grounded in community, relationality, mindfulness, and justice can help transform grief into courage and sustained engagement.

Rather than offering easy optimism, this is a framework for living with uncertainty while cultivating hope, resilience, and moral action. At a moment when climate grief is becoming increasingly widespread, it offers a timely perspective on how individuals and communities can respond without succumbing to paralysis or burnout.
