Description

In this book, author Lynne Sedgmore integrates presence, climate activism, and the alleviation of climate anxiety in an innovative and unique synthesis and new term - Presence Activism. By offering a profound solution with new perspectives, Presence Activism: A Profound Antidote to Climate Anxiety is steeped in a presence that moves activism beyond metaphors of war, enemies, and destruction, as well as the illusion of separation, into the visceral knowing of presence and interconnection, thereby making presence an important part of the way forward for current and future activism. Presence Activism: A Profound Antidote to Climate Anxiety introduces new processes of the Presence Flower and the Anxiety Flower to solve the anxiety issues we face, and to develop and expand our own personal internal coping mechanisms, responses, and capacities. This book is a compendium of different perspectives and experiences of presence, as well as a powerful conceptual and thoughtful analysis of the fields of presence, climate anxiety, and climate peril.

Advance Praise

I sit here with a steady flow of tears for the raw beauty, truth and beautifully articulated wisdom you have expressed in Presence Activism.

For many years I have been shedding and working with Presence, without knowing that this was what was happening to me and my service out in the world. Reading from Presence in each chapter I felt a different sense of learning, and depth of emotion. This book, your teachings, the flowers and the wisdom petals bring together a rich garden of abundance that can feed our souls, help our minds understand and soothe our breaking hearts. I know in my bones that this book will enable many therapists and healers to understand another level of anxiety and despair. Many of us are seeing so much of this right now. You give supportive meaning and a clear perspective on how to move through, how to be with, and to be present with all that is. Thank you and Blessed Be.

Angie Twydall, Founder of the Sanctuary of Sophia, Priestess and Healer
