SUMMARY:​Storytelling for Change: A Creative Gathering for Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:​As the days are beginning to grow longer\, we gather to share the stories that sustain us. Stories of Change: A Creative Gathering for Climate Resilience is a free community storytelling event exploring how we build resilience together\, in the face of climate change. \n​Join Basilica Bio and featured speaker Eileen Lambert\, a Latine climate storyteller and communications strategist\, for an evening of reflection\, creativity\, and connection. Through storytelling\, collaging\, and building a community chapbook\, we’ll explore what it means to live and care for one another in a changing world. \n​Inspired by Adrienne Maree Brown’s Emergent Strategy\, this event invites participants to imagine resilience not as endurance\, but as interdependence. Together\, we’ll share local stories of climate adaptation\, community care\, and creative resistance—and transform them into collective art that honors our shared future. \n​Together\, we are going to hear a talk about the power of storytelling in fostering and prefiguring climate resilience. Then\, we will all assemble a chapbook together! Each attendee will receive a copy of the community chapbook\, as well as some essential climate resilience resources! \n​Here’s what the night will look like:\n🌾 A talk by Eileen Lambert on storytelling and climate resilience\n🌀 A participatory creative session\, where participants build a page-long story of climate resilience\n📖 An assembly session\, where everyone’s story will come together as a community chapbook!\n🌍 A reflection on how storytelling creates climate resilience \n​When: January 24th\, 2026.\nWhere: Seattle Recreative Georgetown\nAccessibility: Light refreshments and snacks provided.
