Speaking

The Work that Reconnects nurtures personal and collective reconnection and Active Hope for these times of the Great Turning. Our Community of Practice invites a conversation for activists who have heard the call to serve a new story, the story of a life-enhancing world for all Earth’s future beings. 

The typical Business as Usual response to this numbs our feelings of grief and belonging, along with our joy and sense of purpose. You are not alone!… To reconnect to those feelings is to hear a calling to act on behalf of our world.

We facilitate the Work that Reconnects through a variety of practices, online and offline, including retreats, nature immersions, monthly sharing circles, etc. Welcome to this community! I hope what you find here will give you trust on your path. Please join our monthly newsletter mailing list above.

Of all the dangers
we face, from climate chaos to nuclear war, none is so great as the deadening of our response.

To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe – to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it – is a wonder beyond words.
