The WOrK That ReconnectS

The Work That Reconnects is meant for anyone who longs to serve the healing of our world in a more powerful and effective way. This interactive group process was developed by Joanna Macy, in cooperation with many colleagues, over several decades.

The Work That Reconnects (WTR) is a dynamic group process designed to empower individuals to actively participate in the healing of the world. It offers tools and practices to reconnect with oneself, others, and the Earth, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired action for a life-sustaining civilization.The Work That Reconnects draws on foundational teachings, including Systems Thinking, Deep Ecology and Deep Time, Spiritual Traditions and Undoing Oppression.

The Work That Reconnects guides you on a Spiral journey through four stages:

• Coming from Gratitude

• Honoring Our Pain for the World

• Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes

• Going Forth

In practice, each of these stages flows naturally to the next. We depict the process as an open spiral, because every journey through the process changes us. We return to Gratitude with a fresh perspective to engage with the spiral again and again.
