Work That Reconnects, Retreat on Holy Isle

The Work That Reconnects is a form of transformative groupwork and comprises of exercises, meditation, reflection, and discussion developed by Joanna Macy. It reconnects us with ourselves, each other and life on earth by providing tools and practices that strengthen resilience, open our hearts and build confidence to keep going. An in-person retreat is a powerful way to connect more deeply with others who share our concerns, with the supportive guidance of experienced facilitators. We weave our way from gratitude into honouring our pain for the world, and then find new and empowering perspectives that inform our going forth. A previous participant summarised it as “healing, encouraging, thought-provoking, energising and fun!” There will be time to roam the island alone or with others, and will include opportunities to practice mindfully being, through guided meditation, movement and music. The natural and nourishing beauty

of Holy Island will help to inspire and strengthen our ability to keep 

moving forward with active hope and positive resolve.
