Bio: Sheila McMenamin (she/her), @climate_cuties, has been working in the environmental justice and advocacy space for almost a decade. No stranger to eco-anxiety, climate grief, and the sense of panic it can foster, she has found immense comfort and direction through years of yoga practice, eventually completing her 200-hour RYT training with Baby Cobra Yoga and Frequency Movement. She is a trained facilitator with Climate Cafe NYC and Safe Conversations, has presented about climate change at conferences around the country, and has years of experience performing comedic improv and storytelling. She is eager to steward spaces for people to process their climate emotions, in community, through the lens of ancient spiritual traditions. Her reverence for this earth is present in her yoga practice and teaching.
