Each event […]

I met Joanna’s work not long after the triple catastrophe of March 11th in 2011. Sean Kelly, a colleague of Joanna as well as professor at California Institute of Integral Studies, came to teach at Ritsumeikan university in Kyoto. He introduced the concepts of Joanna’s work and facilitated some powerful exercises from the WTR. I was struck by the contents (and him. That’s why he is now my husband). I moved to Berkeley in 2013 and since then, I have taken her workshops, participated in some classes Joanna and Sean co-taught at CIIS, and I also was part of the facilitator training program Joanna had for people of color in 2014.

There are not many bodies of work with such a creative yet simple format to move people through their most difficult emotions and free up their energies to be more active in creating a better world. I am grateful for Joanna’s genius and dedication to this work, and for all the people working to evolve the practices to meet these times.

Working safely: tips when using Video Conferencing

Silvia Di Blasio · Apr 12, 2020 · Leave a Comment

With the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitators of the Work That Reconnects, and many other similar practices have been scrambling to get their offerings online. There are more questions than answers, as we walk in the unchartered territory of working online with emotions and practices that were designed to be “lived” and “embodied”. […]
