"...if Self is defined a singular noun, the planet is cooked. But if we can be really creative, collectively, and find a way that Self is a plural verb, that kids are raised to know that "I am more than me, I am connected to you, and I am part of we”..

Join me for an informal walk and conversation in the stunning Rocky Mountains of Alberta.

The Work That Reconnects is based on the work and learnings of Joanna Macy, one of the pillars of Deep Ecology. The work is a spiral journey through four stages: Coming from Gratitude, Honouring our Pain for the World, Seeing with New & Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth. Each of these stages leads naturally to the next. The journey transforms feelings of helplessness or fear in the face of the undeniable feedback from our planetary systems. By feeling and engaging our interconnected experiences, we discover first hand that we are larger, stronger, more creative and more alive than we knew.
