The Climate Readers’ Retreat is a four-day gathering for those passionate about climate and democracy, offering space to reflect, connect, and re-energize your work for change.

Join Pulitzer Prize finalist John Vaillant (Fire Weather & The Golden Spruce), award-winning strategist Zoë Grams, and journalist Ian Gill for small-group conversations, collaborative discussions, and new ways of thinking. Together, we’ll explore tough questions about action and complicity, storytelling as a tool for change, and how to renew energy for the work ahead.

Special guest ‘Cúagilákv (Jess Housty) will speak to the concept of right relations and the role of Indigenous knowledge in climate response.

If you’re seeking tools, clarity, or fresh momentum in this urgent moment - this program is for you!
