Trina is a writer, counsellor and facilitator with a background in social work, environmental studies, farming and yoga; and a deep desire to support people on their journey towards wellness and adaptation. She came to the Work that Reconnects and Joanna Macy's teaching in 2010 when she became overwhelmed with despair while earning her Environmental Studies degree. Her passion for WtR led to her to intensives with Joanna and to facilitating the work for her various communities, including activists, youth and everyday earth lovers. In 2019 she spearheaded the organization of the Salish Sea Bio-Regional Work that Reconnects Gathering. She is now working to build upon and expand her Work that Reconnects facilitation and counselling offerings on Southern Vancouver Island.
Why I am called to facilitate the Work
In this work I have found medicine for my own despairing heart and I continue to believe that it can, as it most certainly has, bring people together to form what Joanna calls "rough weather networks" as together we uncover the wild love that keeps us showing up in the world.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
I believe the Work that Reconnects brings us together, through remembrance of our inter-being with life, to act on behalf of what is beautiful and sacred (all of life is sacred), and to serve the great turning and the future ones despite uncertainty of outcome.
Audiences I work with
Youth, adults, families, service providers.
