The Work That Reconnects
Joanna Macy's The Work That Reconnects offers a contemplative response to ecological crisis, moving through gratitude, honouring our pain, seeing with new eyes, and going forth. This 16-lesson course adapts that spiral into guided practices, group exercises, and reflections you can run alone or with a circle.
