WHAT:

Join us for a Work That Reconnects* weekend, an alternative 4th of July experience where we celebrate our love for our country and the earth and our mutual interdependence as well as recognize the truths of what is happening in our country and world today and how we can face the challenges.

During our time together we will focus on practices for cultivating interbeing, deepening our connections, practice emergent wisdom, and strengthening our resilience and our effectiveness in our communities and world.

We will have time in nature, solo time, and conversations with partners, in small groups and in the larger circle.

We acknowledge that our dominant economic, political and social system is not providing the sustainable quality of life we all need. Let’s open and create more love in action to the end that all can mutually flourish.

*The Work That Reconnects is The Work That Reconnects is a framework for personal and social change developed by Joanna Macy, a scholar of systems theory, deep ecology, and Buddhism. It is designed to help individuals and communities confront and process the ecological, social, and political crises of our time—such as climate change, species extinction, and systemic injustice—without becoming paralyzed by despair or denial.

WTR helps empower us to act by reconnecting us with feelings of care and concern for the world, strengthening our sense of belonging and interconnection with all life, cultivating resilience and clarity in the face of global crises.
