A gathering for new and olde friends of reconnection in a time of lockdown for so many- A time for us to share our feelings, our stories

Are you challenged by and concerned about our world, and our more-than human family?

Do you worry or wonder about a role for yourself, your family and friends?

Is it difficult to share these thoughts and feelings with others?

We gather monthly to build our skills and willingness to share and walk life. We get to know ourselves and replenish our strength when working for change in a world that is both troubled and inspiring.
Join us to walk the woven paths of acknowledgement, gratitude, honouring
pain and seeing life afresh.

This month our focus is on ancestral connection - each of us has ancestors and Indigenous people throughout this land have suggested that white fellas connect with their own ancestors - in any way they can ( photographs, prayer, family tree exploration.....)- as a means to better reconnect not only to themselves but to each other and land - and broader life. So I invite you to bring a story or wondering ( maybe you know little of any ancestor???) about your ancestors.

‘The work that reconnects lets people
hear the voice they most need to hear: the
voice within themselves. As facilitator, I am
not here to impose my views or even to
inspire, so much as to open connections
between and inside people to what matters
most to them.’ — Joanna Macy

As regards contribution, you may be familiar with wildspace gift-culture. Everyone is welcome to join, irrespective of financial privilege. We ask that you consider your position in the moneyed economy. There are many right now who do not have funds and we choose to include everyone. So if you are one who is or was ( now retired and comfortable) in the moneyed world, kindly make a financial contribution so that collectively, we can ensure that all are always able to CHOOSE to belong.

‘I felt supported by the allowance, freedom, validation. Every voice is
heard, supported, worked with, not forced
to quieten. Juli’s system/ structure of
education is empowering.’ — Carol, Participant
