#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Our online events can be watched through your BWF ticketing account, and will be available for viewing from 5pm, Friday May 7 to 5pm, Friday June 4.
As the earth faces a critical moment in a climate emergency, our panel examines ideas around repurposing our anger, despair and grief into hope and courage. It’s about rearranging the messiness of our climate anxiety into determination to act. This session will leave participants with a roadmap created by psychologists and climate scientists to build the emotional fortitude needed for the challenging journey ahead.

Since 2009, she has been pioneering a creative approach to psychology. Mary has emerged as a leader in the humanisation and transformation of the mental health industry. After her father’s death in 2017, Mary turned to art and writing to explore the darker aspects of life – anxieties, fears, insecurities, loss, emotional pain and ‘baggage’ – and how these hold the keys to insight, meaning and purpose. The moving artworks she produced, utilising sound, psychology and installation, informed groundbreaking research by the University of Melbourne.
