Information Evening - Active Hope
You are invited to join us for a taster session of Active Hope based on the work of the late Joanna Macy and the Work that Reconnects (WTR) on 21st August at 7.30pm online.
In this taster session, you will get a flavour of the spiral of Active Hope which has been developed and updated over many decades. The spiral provides us with a set of powerful collective practices that we can return to over and over again to resource ourselves for consciously participating in the world during these times of crises and chaos. Creativity, stories, music and movement are valued in this work as we give ourselves space to reconnect with nature, ourselves and others.
In this session, you will hear from and have a chance to ask questions to our experienced Active Hope facilitators who run workshops, days and weekend gatherings for the public and for existing groups.
“The Active Hope retreat was a peaceful and inspiring experience that gave me the space to reflect, re-energise, and reconnect with what truly matters. It helped me find a clear, motivating path forward for my work with Kyrie Therapeutic Farm and reminded me of the strength that comes from stillness, community, and purposeful hope.” - John McKeon, Kyrie Therapeutic Farm“I strongly recommend Sarah-Jane and Josephine’s Active Hope workshops/tasters/seminars as they offer a space for people to stop and think about the mess we’re in. Having the space to think deeply about the climate crisis in a calm, connected and serious way and then working through overwhelm towards hope was invaluable. People from across the university found benefit in the sessions, despite their different world views, ways of working and backgrounds. I highly recommend.” - Martina Mullin, Healthy Campus Manager, Trinity College Dublin
