The Work That Reconnects, for the healing of the earth.
https://workthatreconnects.org/, is based on the teachings of Joanna Macy, who has written that it “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”. Its exercises and rituals follow a spiral of practices: Gratitude, Honouring Our Pain for the World, Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth…and Active Hope.
This Work can support us in facing the crises of our time. It is sometimes used by activist groups of various kinds: to recharge the batteries away from the front line; for team building and bonding, and to recapture and rekindle the commitment to the cause – to the calling.
The Work That Reconnects can be done one-to-one as well as in groups, indoors or out-of-doors. One-to-one we can go outside into parks and gardens. Groups are held in local woodland or by the seaside. For a programme of scheduled groups, see Events.
