Lisa Ferguson, Ph.D.

Founder

Hello and welcome to Climate Compassion.

I (Lisa) founded Climate Compassion in 2015 to bring a compassionate and wise approach to action in our time of polycrisis/metacrisis.

When I needed compassionate community to support me in responding skillfully to the climate justice crisis, I convened climate compassion community events, hosting visionaries and leaders to share their wisdom (you can see some of these outstanding leaders and their organizations below).

Over time Climate Compassion evolved to emphasize more of the psychological and spiritual aspects of our response, including unwinding oppressions like internalized and systemic racism and sexism. A foundation of our work is recognizing that no one needs to be changed or fixed, and yet we can attend to suffering and harm, both inner and outer. We can act skillfully from our wholeness by attending to these deeper layers, so that our actions are more aligned with compassion, wisdom, love and our innate genius. Our workshops, trainings, and 1:1 work are all intended to emphasize inner and outer wellbeing, awakening and skillful action.

Currently emerging in my work is Engaged Nonduality, an integration of awakening and action, and a continuing inquiry of how we may respond in alignment with the heart of being.
