Sage-ing Together: Cultivating Resilience and Community to Navigate our Chaotic World

Event Overview

Our world is a mess. Whether it be climate change, democracy, growing inequity, war, or any
number of issues, it is easy to feel stymied by all that there is to do, while struggling to deal
with our feelings of uncertainty, despair, and confusion. This is especially difficult for us as
“elders.”
This three-session course builds upon the work of Joanna Macy, as we acknowledge that we
are facing the Great Unraveling, that we can meet as we focus on resilience and an expansive
sense of community to navigate these difficult times.
We’ll begin with acknowledging what is true in our world today – both our love and our pain
that helps us to move through our natural discomfort of talking about our uncertainties and
fears. As we unblock our feelings and become fully present to this time and to each other, we’ll
engage in a series of exercises to discover the inner and outer sources of resilience that build
personal strength and collective solidarity.
Using reflection, interactive practices, and discussions, we’ll discover new allies, explore the
gifts of uncertainty, and other practices that can move us from despair and overwhelm into a
path of sustainable action for the healing of our world.
