The Work That Reconnects
With Chris Giffen and Clara Lindstrom
August 3 - 7, 2026
Monday – Friday Morning. Adult – 18+
Christopher and Clara will lead Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects (WTR). Developed over decades, this is an invitation to you to reconnect with earth, with self, and with others through interactive group processes. During the program you might…go on a blind trust walk to find a willow mirror; speak as a mountain, a quail, or a river; listen to the fears and pains of future beings; dance the elm dance; feel the joy or the sorrow of a heron or a raccoon. We will be on the land, singing, listening, feeling and thinking with each other and the more than human world. You will experience the breadth of moral imagination, and find that through facing this difficult time for Earth that we can kindle our spirits, and emerge with new connections, softer hearts, and bolstered courage.
