“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things are connected."

Come join with others in experiences which connect us with ourselves, our communities, and the planet using the interactive techniques of the Work that Reconnects, theater, and mindfulness.
Engaging our hearts and creativity, we explore grief and fear to rediscover our courage and passion for life. When we rest in our interconnection with the web of life we find our true power, happiness, and the inspiration to work together towards a healthy, thriving world for all. |

A Great Turning Retreat in the Work That Reconnects
December 6th – 9th, 2018
Banyan Grove, Forest Knolls,
Marin County, Ca
Join us for a retreat designed to give us a time to turn away from today’s turmoil and confusion to build resilience and release the frustration and pain of the daily news and our “Business as Usual” world. The retreat is open to experienced facilitators of the Work That Reconnects as well as those new to the Work.
Constance Washburn and Mutima Imani invite you to come to the enchanted San Geronimo Valley for a Work that Reconnects 4-day (3 night) residential gathering. Root teacher , Joanna Macy, will join us for part of the retreat to share her current thinking and newest inspirations. In this retreat, we will work through all sections of the Work That Reconnects spiral (Gratitude, Honoring our pain, Seeing with fresh eyes, and Going Forth). We will do daily mindfulness, self-care and nature connection practices along with the practices of the Work with an emphasis on working through the double grief and trauma of environmental destruction and social injustice.
Come unleash your passion, creativity and vitality. The Great Turning towards a just and life sustaining world is happening. This retreat will explore the intersectionality of current events and empower us to do what is ours to do for the healing of our world, our ancestors and future generations.
A gift economy retreat with suggested donation range of $300 to $600 or more. Banyan Grove runs on the gift economy and the facilitators are also offering their time for Dana. A $100 deposit required to hold your place. Registration opens Oct 3, 2018
