Thanks to all who came out to the first Work that Reconnects Study/Practice Circle of the season last week! Our time included rich discussion on A Wider Sense of Self (Chapter 5 of Active Hope), particularly as it related to our experiences in climate justice and activism. To ground our thoughts in practice, I shared an exercise called Widening Circles, in which each person spoke of an issue that was important to them through four perspectives in turn: first speaking as oneself, and then imaginatively speaking as an adversary, an animal and a future human. Check out Joannas description of this powerful exercise here, and feel free to try it yourself or with a friend! Our next monthly circle will be on Sunday, October 26th from 2:30-5:30pm in NDG. The group is offered on a gift economy basis, and anyone with an interest in the Work that Reconnects or activist self-care is welcome! Message me for more details. Im feeling inspired and grateful to be a part of what feels like an emerging community of radical collective/self-care practice... I hope youll join us!
