Let it out: A Sharing Circle for Emotional Release<\/strong> \u2013 Roundtable Session<\/em><\/h3>\n

12:00\u201313:00<\/strong>
\nFacilitated by Laura S\u00f3lveig Lefort Scheefer and B\u00e1ra \u00d6rk Melsted of the Icelandic Young Environmentalists, Let It Out<\/em> offers a compassionate space for activists and changemakers to pause and reconnect with their inner emotional landscape.<\/p>\n

This guided sharing circle invites participants to step back from the urgency of activism and gently sit with the feelings that often go unspoken\u2014grief, frustration, hope, exhaustion. Through grounding practices, reflection, and the option to share in community, we\u2019ll hold space for vulnerability, healing, and mutual care. This is not a space for fixing, but for feeling, witnessing, and being witnessed.<\/p>\n

Because tending to our emotional well-being is an essential part of sustaining meaningful change.<\/p>\n

15:30\u201316:30<\/strong>
\nLed by Christoph Matt of the Sympoietic Society art collective, this participatory workshop welcomes children and adults alike into a world where glaciers whisper stories through ice and imagination.<\/p>\n

Together, we\u2019ll explore Icelandic folklore and environmental storytelling by imagining the lives of glacier ghosts<\/em>\u2014spirits dwelling in alpine and aquatic ecosystems. Participants will create drawings and paper sculptures inspired by these tales, forming a shared vision of ecological memory and future care.<\/p>\n

The resulting artworks will journey onward to be exhibited at the SAARI art residency in Finland in summer 2025, continuing the conversation across borders and generations.<\/p>\n
