an online Work That Reconnects session for parents
Being a parent in these times is probably asking way more of you than you could have ever imagined. Beyond all of the practical and physical challenges of being parents, we’re also carrying the emotional weight of fear, anxiety, confusion and sadness around the experiences our children are having (and not having) as a result of the state of the world.
In this introductory session we will come together as parents to connect with each other and bring our attention to the blessings and challenges that come with parenting in these tumultuous times. Moving through the Work That Reconnects spiral with a New Paradigm Parenting lens will allow us to emerge with supportive strategies and renewed inspiration for meeting this unprecedented moment with empowerment and joy.
Our lives as parents are often busy and overextended. It can feel like we don’t have time to pause and reflect or to tend to our own needs. However, as I’ve facilitated these sessions for parents over the past several years, we’ve found that carving out this little bit of time for ourselves to gather with other parents and move through a facilitated Work That Reconnects spiral designed specifically for parents is a powerful way to care for ourselves so we can care for our children with even more groundedness and resilience.
If you are considering participating in the extended Parenting in Tumultuous Times program, this introductory session is a great way to get a feel for New Paradigm Parenting and my facilitation.
This two hour online session will be a fully interactive experience. It will not be recorded. Please only register if you are able to join us live and participate. In order to create an intimate container for connection please be prepared to be present for the entire session without distractions.
This session is offered by free-choice donation. If you’re feeling called to participate I want you to be with us, regardless of how much you can afford to contribute. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Please give what you are able and feel welcomed.
To help guide your donation decision and give you a ballpark to work with I’ll share that the general suggested donation for this session is $15-35 USD.
There will be instructions on how to make this donation in the confirmation email you receive after you register.
Jo delAmor is a mom and a step-mom to two young adults (21 and 22 years old) who graduated high school in 2020, right in the midst of Covid lockdowns and school closures. She has also cared for and worked with hundreds of other people’s children of all ages in a wide variety of situations from longterm co-parenting community to public schools, from wilderness camps and preschools to in-home nannying over the last 25+ years.
Jo has been facilitating the Work That Reconnects since 2013 with a focus on dismantling oppression, transforming our cultural paradigm and supporting parents through these unprecedented and challenging times.
In her dedication to personal and cultural transformation as a catalyst for planetary healing, she has paid close attention to what this new generation needs at this pivotal time on planet Earth; charting what works, what doesn’t and what is being called forth from us as parents. She has woven the insights and practical tools she’s gathered through all of this experience into her practice of New Paradigm Parenting and her forthcoming book Raising Children in the Midst of Global Crisis: A Compassionate Guidebook for New Paradigm Parenting
“I am an introvert and was a little nervous for the breakout rooms, but in the end found them to be so helpful and heartwarming. And a way to help us feel even more connected to everyone.”
“Thank you Jo! This is hard, painful work but I’m so happy that there are others doing it too <3”
“I love the way you facilitate, we can feel you so right there, so present and sometimes so raw, that’s precious because it awakens and calls us.”
