Living Into a More Beautiful World | 🌸 Spring Work That Reconnects Study-Action Circle

Featured Reading: The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible — Charles Eisenstein

Spring brings renewal, possibility and the invitation to imagine what might emerge beyond the systems we know. In our final Study–Action Circle of 2027, we explore Charles Eisenstein's The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, guided by the principles of The Work That Reconnects.

Together, we'll examine how the stories we tell about ourselves, each other and the world shape what we believe is possible. Drawing on Eisenstein's exploration of separation and interbeing, we'll reflect on how dominant narratives of scarcity, competition and control influence our economic systems, and what new possibilities might emerge when we begin relating to the world through connection, reciprocity and trust.

Hosted by the NENA Systems Change Hub, and supported by the School of Social Impact and the Humanitarian Changemakers Network, this is a space for people committed to shifting deep systems and building the foundations of a new economy grounded in care, justice and regeneration.

We approach the text as a community: reflective, curious and willing to sit with complexity together.

The Work That Reconnects (WTR) offers practical tools and reflective practices to help those working to transform our economic systems navigate complexity, build resilience and sustain collective action. By combining deep reflection, experiential exercises and group dialogue, WTR supports changemakers in facing ecological, social and economic crises with clarity, courage and connection—enhancing their ability to envision and co-create a more regenerative, equitable and wellbeing-centred economy.

As we move through the seasons in 2027, we will:

📚 Explore a selected text that offers new perspectives on personal, social and ecological transformation. Reading is optional.

🌀 Gather for a LIVE online community circle to share reflections, deepen into experiential practices and strengthen our individual and collective resilience.

🌱 Co-create a space where personal growth and systems change are nourished together as we work to build the New Economy movement.

People who care deeply about transformation—policy thinkers, community organisers, educators, researchers, practitioners, cooperative builders, activists and transition leaders.

Join us as we close the year by exploring how changing the stories we live by can open new possibilities for the relationships, communities and economic systems we create together.
