To accompany the launch of Susanna Orr Holland’s new album Return of the Swallows, Chris Booth will offer a Work That Reconnects workshop.
The multiple existential threats to our world seem worse every time we look at the news: species going extinct, rising war and authoritarianism, ice caps melting at an unprecedented rate, the industrial growth economy spiralling out of control. The temptation is either to sink into despair or to hide away and pretend it’s not real!
How can we face the mess we’re in with resilience and creative power? Based on the work of Joanna Macy, the Work That Reconnects is an inspiring, interactive group process for anyone who longs to engage in the healing of our world, and to build deep connection with our human and other-than-human communities.
An experienced facilitator of the Work That Reconnects, with lifelong experience in the peace and environmental movements, Chris is passionate about addressing the causes of conflict, injustice, suffering, and environmental damage, and building radical communities to sustain us in this work. The workshop offer structured practices and use Susanna’s music to explore gratitude, joy, grief, and active hope in a safe space.
