Active Hope Circles will take you on a journey to experience the Work that Reconnects over 4 months. Taking part in the adventure of Active Hope supports us to ground these practices in daily life to nurture ourselves and our environment. Regular community gatherings and powerful exercises enable strong connections that are vital in empowering us as we play our part in creating a more sustainable and wholesome way forward. During this journey, we will move through the spiral of the Work that Reconnects : Coming from Gratitude, Honouring our Pain, Seeing with New Eyes, Going Fourth.
This approach is based on the work of Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone who just released a new edition of their book : Active Hope : How to face the mess we’re in with unexpected resilience and creative power

“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.
