This workshop offers a gentle first step into the Work That Reconnects, a process developed by Joanna Macy for facing difficult times without shutting down or burning out. The core idea is that grief for the world and love for it are two sides of the same thing, and the evening makes room for both through simple exercises, conversations and shared practices.
Over three hours you move through the whole spiral: gratitude, honouring your pain for the world, seeing with new and ancient eyes, and returning to the world with fresh energy. Many participants leave feeling calmer, less alone with what they carry, and more connected to the living world around them.
The workshop is led by Liene Jurgelane, an anthropologist, artist and facilitator who has practised the Work That Reconnects since 2013. She has trained with Joanna Macy and other core teachers and works with nearly two decades of experience in guiding transformative processes.
