Active Hope at Downs Community Farm

  • Downs Community Farm 190 Old Wells Road Seaford, VIC, 3198 Australia (map)

The Work That Reconnects is a spiral of practices that supports us in meeting the multiple crises of our times.

Based in the teachings of Joanna Macy, the Work unfolds as a spiral journey through four stages: Coming from Gratitude, Honouring our Pain for the world, Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth. The journey helps us experience first hand that we are larger, stronger, more creative - and more deeply interconnected - than we knew.

We have found this work to be powerful and transformative for those who enter into it, and as facilitators we gain great benefit from revisiting the practices regularly with you all.

What we’ll be doing

  • Spending time with Country (nature connection, deep ecology)

  • Learning about frameworks and doing practices from the Work That Reconnects

  • Sharing and deep listening (not primarily discussion)

  • Being in silent contemplation 

  • Singing (or listening to the songs!)
