November 10: Introduction to The Work That Reconnects
This is a celebration of the life and work of Joanna Macy who, for decades, worked to bring individuals, communities, and ecosystems into greater health, balance, and connection. She passed this summer at the age of 96, but her work is more relevant and important than ever. This talk will celebrate a life well lived and present the foundations and framework of The Work That Reconnects, which aims to bring groups into greater understanding and connection while helping to craft a more beautiful world.
