The following (community building and fundraiser) workshops are open to women, men, and other participants ages 12 and up. Suggested donation of $25-$50.
All proceeds will go towards supporting Root Down Rise Up.
​


The times in which we live are marked by realities of unprecedented ecological, social, and spiritual unravelling. At the same time, a growing awareness of the implicit interconnections that define the web of life is emerging. Many are moved by a deep and abiding love for the world, and by compassionate responses of sorrow and despair for the losses and suffering that we face.

How do we cultivate active hope: the motivation, courage, and resilience necessary to respond to the challenges and opportunities of our time?


This is a participatory workshop in the pioneering, open-source work of Joanna Macy, which draws  from deep ecology, systems theory, and ancient spiritual traditions. Through experiential practices that include dialogue, imagination, movement, and reflection, participants will connect with deep sources of strength and inspiration to take part in the transition to a more just and sustainable future.
​

This workshop will empower participants to:
  • Recognize gratitude as a revolutionary practice and a source of strength and grounding
  • Explore and share their experiences of and emotional responses to the challenges of our time
  • Connect with a more expansive understanding of individual efforts for change 
  • Reflect on the defining stories of our time
  • Experience a felt sense of connection to community and the greater web of life
  • Clarify their commitment and intention in participating in the joyful transition to a life-sustaining world
