Active Hope Study Group (6-weeks online) EcoResilience
Event description
Active Hope – how to strengthen our capacity to face this crisis so that we can respond with unexpected resilience and creative power.
Our Active Hope book journey is a shared process to deepen community and resource ourselves in addressing concerns about the world.
Active Hope guides readers on a transformative journey designed to strengthen our capacity to act for life on Earth. While reading the book alone can bring great benefits, the empowering journey is enhanced by the company of others.
Our online sessions involve guided practices and meditations, and sharing and reflections from reading the book and participating in the activities.
“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people,
