Work that Reconnects for Environmental and Social Justice - Ōtautahi

The Work That Reconnects workshops help us to thrive and care for each other in this time of ongoing escalating climate, ecological, and social justice crises. In particular we hold this workshop to recognize the interrelationship between the climate crisis and war and genocide.

The Work That Reconnects sees the root cause of our converging crises to be the pervasive illusion of separation between fellow humans, and separation between humans and the rest of the natural world. By learning to recognize our interconnectedness we invite the spontaneous healing of the psyche and by extension, of the systems that were born from the deep split within us. We also come to understand the inseparability of personal, cultural, and ecological healing. If we want to contribute to a better world we'll need to acknowledge and metabolize our anger, fears and sorrows into inspiration, strength, and deeper purpose. Only then can we bring forward our unique gifts and shine a light into this dark night of the soul of humanity.
