Are you taking action for transformative change in how we live and relate to our world? Perhaps you are overwhelmed or exhausted when confronted by the various crises we are facing? 

This workshop, based on the Work That Reconnects, provides spiritual practices that strengthen our motivation, creativity, courage and capacity to respond to global issues, and allows participants to explore and grow connection - to the earth, ourselves, and each other.  This is active hope.

Throughout the day we will participate in nature connection, deep listening and sharing, and community building. These practices will help us to discover new confidence and clarity to play our part in the Great Turning, the collective transition to new ways of being that support the flourishing of life in this world.

The "Active Hope" workshop was a significant, learning experience for me. It was beautifully facilitated and the whole workshop felt very safe and well planned and delivered. One of the best workshops I have done for a long, long time.

This retreat day provided me with a really valuable opportunity to rest, reflect and re-centre within peaceful surrounds. The facilitators did an excellent job of creating a safe space for honest vulnerability and restorative creativity. Over the course of the day a room of strangers became precious companions on the healing journey. Highly recommended!!

This workshop is a humble reminder of our relationship to the earth and a powerful framework for showing gratitude, sharing grief and connecting as beings of this earth. An opportunity to reflect on our role as earth-custodians in a time of ecological destruction and social unrest; but also in a time of hope and action. Highly recommend; if not for these reasons, then for the food :)

It was profoundly powerful to pause from the ‘fight against’ and have a space to grieve. It has reconnected my heart and soul into my work for change - I feel a bit more integrated, less overwhelmed, more hopeful and heart-felt.
