🌱 You Are Invited: Seeding Hope Workshop
Part of the Caring Communities Program at Heart Place
Facilitated by Sydel, this workshop invites us to explore how hope moves us forward so we can engage with the three circles of care:
Care for self • Care for each other • Care for land & things bigger than ourselves
🌱 Details: Sunday November 9th, 10am to 1pm. See below for Booking
🌱 Workshop Focus
Together we will explore the relationship of hope to:
• Connection & community
• Compassion, caring & resilience
• Meaning, purpose & values
• Mindfulness & wellbeing
• Social change & collective healing
• Grief, loss & renewal
🌱 Why Hope?
Hope is a light that can dim through overwhelm, burnout, grief, or depression. At such times, community can hold the threads of hope for us until we regain meaning and purpose.
We all have an inner light that fades and rekindles. For ourselves, our children, and for the earth, we must keep this flame alive collectively and be there for one another.
🌱 Workshop Structure
• Opening Presentation – context, research, and resources on hope
• Circle-Based Exploration – discussion, processes, and practices to activate hope and hold space for ourselves and each other
• Break – tea & snacks provided
🌱 Honouring Voices: reflections on the work of Joanna Macy, Jane Goodall, and the emerging “Hope-Based Communications” of Thomas Coombes
