November Nights: An Introduction to the Work That Reconnects

“The refusal to feel takes a heavy toll. Not only is there an impoverishment of our emotional and sensory life…the energy expended in pushing down despair is diverted from more creative uses.” - Joanna Macy, World as Lover, World as Self

Join us for teachings and experiential practices from the Work That Reconnects that call us to further orient to the times we are alive in, ground in our capacity to respond, and remember that even in the most precarious days, beauty and life-affirming awe continues, offering us a steady hand to hold as we take another step.

Janna Diamond, ACCEP, SEP, is a somatic therapy practitioner in private practice, and the founder of Evolutionary Somatic Practice, where she guides people to heal trauma, embody their truth, and cultivate skills for an evolving world.

For more than a decade, Janna has worked at the intersection of personal, collective, and planetary healing, specializing in climate change resiliency, ecological grief, and the eco-somatic dimensions of the polycrisis. She serves as the Georgia State Regional Coordinator for the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.

Janna is a longtime student of Joanna Macy’s, facilitator of the Work That Reconnects, and lover of where deep ecology, mysticism, and creative practice meet. She’s honored to have co-authored a chapter on trauma-informed facilitation in the upcoming new book, Coming Together in the Great Turning: Collective Liberation and Work That Reconnects.
