The Blue Minds workshop is an inspiring, interactive session helping turn eco-anxiety into action. Co-created and delivered by author and founder of The Good Human Factory, Cooper Chapman, and Councillor & filmmaker, Kal Glanznig, the workshop uses powerful storytelling, mindfulness tools, and real-world examples to help participants protect their mental health while protecting the planet. It empowers attendees to find hope, take practical steps for ocean conservation, and realise the difference they can make in their own communities.
