The Work That Reconnects is a spiral of practices that supports us in meeting the multiple crises of our times.
Based in the teachings of Joanna Macy, the Work unfolds as a spiral journey through four stages: Coming from Gratitude, Honouring our Pain for the world, Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth. The journey helps us experience first hand that we are larger, stronger, more creative - and more deeply interconnected - than we knew.
We have found this work to be powerful and transformative for those who enter into it, and as facilitators we gain great benefit from revisiting the practices regularly with you all. The Work That Reconnects aligns with our desire at Gembrook Retreat to invite people on to the land to encounter God in creation, and to equip each other to live a soulful life.
What we’ll be doing
Spending time with Country (nature connection, deep ecology)
Learning about frameworks and doing practices from the Work That Reconnects
Sharing and deep listening (not primarily discussion)
Being in silent contemplation
Singing (or listening to the songs!)
Eating and drinking (all food provided)
Make a weekend of it!
We have several accommodation spaces available for people who want to arrive Friday and stay on until Sunday. Give yourself extra time to be on the land, absorb the experience and connect with other workshop participants and Gembrook Retreat community.
