Many of us feel we are living in a fake world. The world of "business-as-usual" cannot last, and yet we are required to live here, even though we see it is collapsing around us. To live in the world but to see beyond the world creates a certain pressure in the mind. In some circles, it's called "cognitive dissonance." In our circle, we call it "collapse awareness." When the pressure becomes too great, we feel we must leave the fake world to find a reality that we recognize. The journey from i...

Collapse causes acute distress in people who learn how things really are, beyond the world of "business-as-usual." If distress is not "metabolized" in a group process, it can cause us to freeze up or spiral into despair. But if we make connections with others who share our understanding, we can take "wise action" which leads to "enlivenment," even in the shadow of collapse. -- At Collapse Club, we offer two meetings per week where we share our experience of collapse. If you feel alone with y...

'Awareness vs. Acceptance' - with David & Matthew

How can we become "settled" with the idea that the world is ending? How are we supposed to "remain human" as we witness the crisis and terror of collapse? Where are the other people who can accompany us on our journey from "collapse awareness" to "collapse acceptance?" David Baum and Matthew Painton share their personal journeys to acceptance, and talk about facilitating groups where other people are following the same path. -- For a seminal exploration of these ideas, see Karen Perry's 'Fift...

'You Are Not Alone,' with David and Matthew

People who are collapse-aware live "dual lives," with one foot in the world of "business-as-usual" and the other in a world where "normal" has lost its meaning. It's very lonely when no one — not even your closest friends and family — can talk with you about collapse and the feelings it brings up. Online meetings can relieve our isolation by acting as a "village" in which our planet-scale grief can be metabolized. Sharing our knowledge and feelings can help us "wake up" from the delusions of ...

Matthew Painton - Finding What's Worthwhile, No Matter What

David B. talks with Matthew Painton from Chichester, England. Matthew is a therapist and coach who helps people work through the difficult emotions that arise from becoming collapse-aware. Matthew says it’s valuable to “metabolize” those feelings, because when we’ve done that, we know who we really are.
