Join us July 26, from 1 to 5 pm, at the Community Church of Durham. In these challenging times we invite you into an afternoon of rejuvenation with The Work That Reconnects. This is a set of practices developed by Joanna Macy to support and re-energize folks who are working to create change in the world. There are four stages, beginning in gratitude, the moving through honoring our pain, seeing with new eyes, and going forth. The practices help make space for grief, anger and uncertainty while also cultivating possibility and joy.

The leaders for the workshop:

Kendra Ford currently works for 350NH engaging lots of people across the state in creative work against climate change. Before that she was a Unitarian Universalist minister for more than 20 years and had the chance to be trained in The Work That Reconnects while Joanna Macy was still offering workshops.
