My practice of the WTR is embedded in decades of practice and teaching of mindfulness and Buddhism. I am also a Dalcroze Rhythymics music and movement teacher which informs an organic and creative leadership style. Another influence is NVC, Nonviolent or Compassionate Communication. I have been leading WTR workshops and retreats since 2005 and am active in XR, offering workshop for activists. I integrate WTR elements in many of my other teaching and retreats, as well as writing. I am about to publish a book called 'Bringing Mindfulness to Life' and 'engaged mindfulness' is a big part of it.
Why I am called to facilitate the Work
The Work that Reconnects is a perfect way of linking personal and other-regarding elements of mindful living. I love the way it builds on what is positive and moves through to a sense of interconnectedness. It helps to counteract the negativity bias of the brain, whilst also encouraging us to stay with what is difficult.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
We need a sense of community to avoid getting stuck in helplessness and isolation.
Audiences I work with
activists, mindfulness practitioners
