Reconnecting to the Web of Life and Making a Difference

Saturday, October 17, 2015  9:45–4:30  Hartford, CT

It can be an overwhelming challenge to live in these times of climate change, social division and economic decline.

How can we feel hopeful, let alone mobilize the energy to face the crises before us and take useful action? 

This workshop offers the path of reconnection. Using practices developed by Joanna Macy we experience our innate connections with each other and with the interdependent web of existence of which we are all a part.

Through nurturing our gratitude for all that is, we are able to turn to face the challenges ahead and find new ways for going forth. We reconnect with our pain for events in the world and, in turn, with our love for our beautiful and precious planet.

Active Hope offers participants a fresh relationship with the living world: our caring, our concern, and our community become our allies, arousing our resilience and passion to protect life. We invite you to join us for a supportive and transformative day that strengthens our intention to act so that we can best play our part, whatever that may be, in the healing of our world.
