THE WORK THAT RECONNECTS

 The Work That Reconnects was created over 40 years ago by eco-philosopher Joanna Macy.  Its purpose is to invite people into a new relationship with the world, to empower them to be part of the Great Turning Point and to reclaim for themselves, their strengths and resources to contribute to the regeneration of the planet. 

The Work That Reconnects is informed by Deep Ecology, Systems Thinking, Gaia Theory, and spiritual traditions (especially Buddhist and indigenous teachings). What all these themes have in common is a non-linear view of reality. 

The Work That Reconnects is a set of practices designed to better understand our place in the world and give us a vision of where and how to act in this time of global transition.
