The Work that Reconnects
This work is based on the vision and teachings of Joanna Macy and supports us to develop our well-being & vitality, our inner resources and community in the face of uncertainty around social and ecological transition. The Work that Reconnects offers a rich variety of profound psychological and spiritual practices inspiring a shift in consciousness and transforming our denial or helplessness into empowered, creative and collaborative action. This experiential work supports a significant shift in consciousness, a realisation of our deep interconnectedness and stepping into our power in service of Life.
You can experience this work through deep dive days & retreats as well as regular community meet ups online or in person with Active Hope Circles. Find out about those here
The Spiral of the Work that Reconnects
The Work that Reconnects is shared through group workshops unfolding around a Spiral structure consisting in 4 stages: coming from gratitude, honouring our pain, seeing with new eyes, going fourth.
Coming from Gratitude and deep appreciation for life—both within and around us—are essential for our well-being and fuel our desire to protect it.
Honouring our pain is uncomfortable but necessary for awakening. Recognizing that the suffering of the world is also our own helps us hold it with compassion, leading to healing and empowerment. By facing this pain, our fear dissipates, and we gather the courage needed for transformation.
The next part of the Spiral, Seeing with New or Ancient Eyes, invites us to recognize our interconnectedness with all of Life—our ancestors, future generations, and all living beings. This awareness nurtures the bonds neglected in modern life and strengthens our sense of belonging to the greater Web of Life.
The final part, Going Fourth, guides us to clarify our personal and collective vision and take action to contribute to the healing of the world.
Living in harmony with nature and honouring all of Life is essential for both our well-being and the planet’s. Everything is interconnected, and to thrive, we must return to a sacred relationship with the Earth—recognizing that all life is sacred, conscious, and precious.
Deep Ecology expands our consciousness beyond the ego, inviting us to embrace an ecological identity. It asks us to place Life at the center of all we do—regenerating ourselves, building resilient communities, and nurturing the environment. By caring for what sustains us, we ensure the abundance of Life for future generations.
We are Nature. The Earth is our larger body, and our well-being is inseparable from the health of the planet. Soil, air, water, plants—all sustain and nourish us. Deep Ecology calls for reverence toward all forms of life—human, animal, plant, and mineral. We are not here to dominate or deplete the Earth, but to honour every living being, regardless of its utility. What we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves—planetary and personal well-being are fundamentally intertwined, a truth humanity has forgotten at great cost.
“Deep Ecology,” coined by Arne Naess in 1973, reflects philosophies long held by indigenous cultures. It offers a radically different approach to life than the modern, industrial mindset. As ecosystems collapse and species vanish, our only sustainable way forward is to adopt regenerative ways of living—shifting away from endless economic growth toward a future that nurtures rather than exploits Life.
Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects provides a direct path to awakening our ecological consciousness. Her legacy is a huge gift for these decisive, prophetic times.
