To Love this Broken Beautiful World:
The Work that Reconnects and Our Struggles for Justice:
An open source body of work originally developed by Joanna Macy, "The Work That Reconnects (WTR) builds motivation, creativity, courage and solidarity for the transition to a sustainable human culture. WTR has inspired thousands of people to take heart and work together for the sake of life on Earth, despite rapidly worsening social and ecological conditions".* The practices safely invite engagement with what is present right now: the immensity of the despair as well as the beauty and potential for personal and group empowerment. This work supports movement through the paralysis of overwhelming emotion by illuminating the personal undercurrents present in your activism. It is relevant and applicable. Let it support you.
