Introduction to The Work That Reconnects

The Work That Reconnects is a transformational body of theory and practice about our world and our relationship with it. Based on the root teachings of eco-philosopher, teacher and activist Joanna Macy, it supports people to move from a sense of isolation to a sense of participation in our world as we continue to undergo tumultuous and rapid changes during our lifetime.

In this introductory workshop for coaches, therapists and facilitators we will explore:

a) What “The Work that Reconnects“ is and how it can help us personally and professionally to face ongoing, challenging times – it allows us to open our eyes, our minds, and hearts

b) The “Three Stories of our Time” – our version, our reality, and the lens through which we see and understand what is happening in our world, and which can hold us back or help us to go forward

c) The “Spiral” – the four stages of a transformational journey that helps us experience that we are more significant, stronger, more creative, and more deeply interconnected than many of us realized
