Do you sometimes feel climate anxiety or overwhelm? Do you long to be part of an Earth care community to turn towards living in a more harmonious way with all of Life? Do you feel passionate about supporting the emergence of a regenerative culture?
Active Hope is about finding, and offering, our best response when facing concerns about our world situation. This approach is inspired by the work of Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone. You can learn more about their work and take an online training on the Active Hope website
The Active Hope Circles are an opportunity to experience over a period of a few months deep ecology practices, based on the Work that Reconnects, as well as other sources of inspiration (including Thich Nhat Hanh & Plum Village tradition).
This gives time to integrate the practices that are helpful to you into your daily life and to deepen links with people that you share affinities with, supporting each other in your projects, to empower you as you play your part in creating a more sustainable way fourth.
Join our circles in Amsterdam here for community support & inspiration through deep ecology practices & knowledge sharing.
You can also join our online circle (in French) here

“Active Hope is not wishful thinking. Active Hope is not waiting to be rescued . . . . by some savior. Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act. We belong to this world. The web of life is calling us forth at this time. We’ve come a long way and are here to play our part. With Active Hope we realize that there are adventures in store, strengths to discover, and comrades to link arms with. Active Hope is a readiness to discover the strengths in ourselves and in others; a readiness to discover the reasons for hope and the occasions for love.
