Introduction to the Work That Reconnects

Week of February 27, 2021

“The Work That Reconnects helps people discover and experience their innate connections with each other and the self-healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action.”  Joanna Macy.

This experiential workshop will introduce The Spiral of the Work which moves through Gratitude, Honoring Our Pain for the World, Seeing with New / Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth.  This progression allows us to open our hearts by touching into gratitude. Then in feeling our pain for the world, we discover our love, courage, and passion to make a difference. We then can see with New/Ancient Eyes our interconnection to all of life and the greater wisdom all around us. We then go forth with new ideas for creating the world we want for future generations.

Through guided meditations, dialogue, and journaling we will get a taste of the transformational flow of the Spiral and investigate our interconnections to life and our role in the Great Turning to a life-sustaining society.
