Drawing Strength from our Connections: A Work That Reconnects Retreat

with Lydia Violet Harutoonian

October 16-18th | Wonderwell Mountain Refuge

Join us for a weekend residential workshop journeying the spiral of the Work That Reconnects with Lydia Violet Harutoonian at the beautiful Wonderwell Mountain Refuge in Springfield, NH.

The Interhelp Network deeply values opportunities to connect in person and are excited to be welcoming Lydia Violet with her wealth of experience to facilitate this fall weekend workshop. Last year Lydia facilitated a two-day non-residential workshop for Interhelp, and we are so glad for her to return to the northeast and facilitate another workshop for the Interhelp community. Lydia is a long-time facilitator of the Work That Reconnects, Joanna Macy scholar and a talented musician who weaves together these powerful strengths in her group facilitation.

Over more than four decades, the Work That Reconnects has helped countless people receive support to face the pain of this world and be present with the complexity of emotions that entails; draw strength from ancestors, future beings, and the web of life; and move forward in empowered action for the healing of our world.

In this time of Great Unraveling, let us draw strength from our connections with one another and with the self-healing powers in the web of life as we are guided through the transformative practices and teachings of the beloved Work That Reconnects.

This weekend workshop includes vegetarian meals and accommodation choices. The workshop begins with dinner on Friday evening and ends with lunch on Sunday afternoon.

If you are under age 35, check out the option to join a pre-retreat starting the Thursday evening before this workshop with the Earth Leadership Cohort facilitation team.
