Suggested Best Practices for Work That Reconnects events

  • Acknowledgement and permission: from the land and the communities where the event is happening and make a point to name this in both your invitation and when you start the event.
  • Inclusion: create events that are inviting, welcoming and empowering to as diverse people as possible.
  • Accessibility: offer events that can be accessed by people with diverse abilities and needs.
  • Clarity of message and intent: be clear about the event, venue, materials, payments, refunds and anything that may impact participants or the community where the event is happening.
  • Co-facilitation: to protect and honour your needs and those of the participants, the WTR works best when co-facilitated.
  • Integrity of the Work: while the WTR is Open Source, only when the facilitator is well acquainted with the foundations and practices and follows the spiral that the work can be called The Work That Reconnects.
  • Support for your Network: adhering to these basic guidelines and contributing to the strengthening and spreading of the WTR through a robust and healthy Network.

Some questions that may help when planning, promoting and delivering a workshop:

  • Is this event taking place in a venue that is easily accessible, affordable and non-discriminatory for most or all peoples?
  • Are the words and images used to describe, promote and invite for this event easily understood by most and non elitist or discriminatory?
  • Are the meals, materials and other elements of the venue or the workshop appropriate and respectful to both the receiving community as well as the participants?
  • How much are you able to accommodate special needs and/or requests from participants and the receiving community?
  • Are you sending materials and expectations or guidelines to participants prior to the workshop?
  • Is the venue appropriate re washrooms, water, privacy and confidentiality, accommodation and meals (if applicable), transportation/accessibility, cost, etc.?
  • Are you selecting the materials and supplies in such a way that respects the other than human beings and environment (i.e. reusable, up-cyclable, ethical materials, etc.)?
  • Are you acknowledging the source for the practices, songs and other materials you are using as well as the root teacher and of the Work?
  • Do you have written policies for your offerings and provide them in advance to participants?
  • Do you make every effort to provide scholarships, work-trade or sliding scale options to at least 1 participant per workshop who may need it?
