Waking Up our Ecological Selves – A weekend of Active Hope Workshops

Event Overview

Two workshops are being offered.  A weekend workshop and a separate Friday evening introductory session both on the same themes.

They will explore our responses to the state of the world, and inspire hope and action – a  journey of loss and renewal, resilience, and shared empowerment.

“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced that it will be through ordinary people, people whose love for this world is even greater than their fear. ”

– Joanna Macy

The workshops offer an introduction to the Work That Reconnects and presents a flow of practical exercises, reflections  and meditations, starting with gratitude.  It is a powerful way to connect more deeply with others who share our concerns, under the supportive guidance of experienced facilitators.
