Group Facilitation
Wellwoods offers group process work based in the philosophies and practices of the Work that Reconnects, among other creative, somatic and nature-based therapeutic practices.
“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.”
What is the Work that Reconnects?
The Work that Reconnects was designed by eco-philosopher and buddhist scholar, Joanna Macy. In her words, it “helps people discover and experience their innate connections with each other and the self-healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action.”
If you are a change-maker, activist or simply a lover of the world, and you are feeling overwhelmed and in despair, facing burn-out or hopelessness, due to social and ecological devastation, the Work that Reconnects may be for you.
