Climate Emotions Circles Facilitators

How the people came together

Drew and Tamara began finding places to hold Tamara’s “Climate Resilience Circles” in Fall of 2023. Drew met Zeratha through their affiliation with Good Grief Network and LinkedIn. Finding a professional kinship, their values coincide. As Tamara was led down a different path, Zeratha and Drew have bonded over a passion for learning and building relationships and through that, became acquainted with Rissa, the founder of Climate Cafe PDX.. Through Drew’s Climate Cafe training, they met Nancy Kessler, another Cafe grad. Cascadia Stack continues to grow with the addition of more Circle facilitators!

  • Zeratha is a Visionary Artist, Eco-Doula, Climate Grief Facilitator, Eclectic Witch, Herbalist/Plant Medicine Healer, Tarot Reader, Psychedelic Advocate, Social Permaculturalist, and above all, a Mother of two wonderful kids aged 7 and 9, as well as two fluffy Persialayan kitties, one Frenchbo dog, a garden and household plant family.

    Zeratha is passionate about helping facilitate a present and future that promotes and enables a regenerative culture of systems of mutual support, reciprocity, relationship with, and respect for, one another, ourselves, and the natural world. They envision a present and future anchored in whole systems design and creativity and rooted in heart-based processing, radical vulnerability and the sharing and showing up of our authentic complex selves in these complex times.

  • Item dNancy is a naturally inquisitive and creative person, with a deep appreciation for people, plants, animals, earth and the connectedness of life.

  • Circle Facilitator, Project Leader and Founder

    A systems thinker, a Virgo, and a dreamer, Drew's voyage into climate resilience began later in life after the shock of a community college geology class. Drew did a deep dive into climate change and soon became a "climate migrant" relocating to the PNW in 2019.

    Climate activism turned to burnout during lockdown in 2020 right when they were beginning their Master's work at Portland State University. Everything fell into place as a student of social innovation and entrepreneurship. Drew's study focus evolved to more than just climate adaptation, but towards systems and community-based resilience, regenerative and place-based economies instead of the individualistic norm of power & extreme wealth-extractive ideologies and the culture of decolonization and othering.

    Social entrepreneurship is Drew's main focus, but they have become comfortable in the role of Climate Circle host, taking training from Berlin, Germany-based One Resilient Earth and as a member of Climate Psychology Alliance, a Climate Cafe facilitator. See Drew’s professional bio here.

    Drew lives in Kalama, Washington, pursuing the American dream of paying off student debt to one day buy a little land, grow a garden, and raise hens.
