Why I am called to facilitate the Work
I am called to facilitate WTR because it changed my life and calls me to share it with others. As both participant and new facilitator, I have experienced WTR as the most enlivening method to ground a group in universal gratitude for being alive; to touch and honor the pain of the human experience; to open numbed valves of emotion that then calls us into action of behalf of love for Earth; to see from fresh, more than human perspectives! I am called to facilitate because I believe it will keep myself and others closely engaged with emerging solutions for a life honoring civilization that our future dissidents deserve.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
I appreciate deeply the open source access to WTR materials that Joanna Macy has generously given the world. I appreciate the adaptability of the Work to support emerging and historically grassroots, ongoing efforts happening to serve the Great Turning. I see the Work softening the fall of the unraveling systems of the Industrial Growth Society with integrity to the marginalized people and ecosystems that have paid the highest costs. I believe in Joanna Macy's call to act on behalf of life no matter the dominate or personal belief in the outcome of human survival.
Audiences I work with
Caregivers, activists, intentional residential communities, yoga communities, youth and young adult women
