Overwhelmed? Outraged? Numbed? Called to action?
We are alive at a time of growing uncertainty, as climate catastrophe looms, the sixth mass extinction accelerates, and the wounds of inequality and inhumanity are laid bare. It is also a time of great possibility when courage, creativity and collective action can change the sociopolitical and ecological landscape for generations to come.
Join us in community as we follow the spiral of the Work That Reconnects, a groundbreaking form of group work that has helped hundreds of thousands of people face their despair and find new insight and inspiration. Developed over many decades by elder Joanna Macy and colleagues, this dynamic, interactive body of work draws on living systems theory, deep ecology, Buddhist philosophy, and the wisdom of countless poets, artists, and change agents. It invites us to touch our innermost responses to the condition of our world and to reconnect with wonder, purpose and passion.
