Building Capacity for Hope-As-Action: Reconnecting to the Soul of Our Work

Event Overview

In a culture that asks us to do more and do it faster, regardless of the emotional weight of the context, it’s often difficult to find space to pause, name what we’re experiencing, and access practices and strategies that both honor these feelings and help us move through them to a place of strength and possibility. For those dedicating their work, whether paid or unpaid, to our collective healing and thriving, this emotional weight can feel especially heavy. The goal for this session is to leave us feeling more resourced to carry the weight of our caring by reconnecting with what is true for and sustains each of us.

Over the course of this session, we will follow an intentional progression of Work That Reconnects teachings and practices that integrate deep ecology, systems thinking, engaged Buddhism, and indigenous wisdom traditions to empower us to be able to both hold our pain for the world and move through it towards wise action.

By slowing down, reconnecting to our bodies, and using our imaginations to connect with future generations, we will gift ourselves the time and space to connect anew with the truths alive in each of us.
