Join Banduri (Gwyneth and Shayontoni) under the light of the full moon to delve deeper into inter-connection, intuition and community care. This is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect in a world that feels upside-down.

In April, our theme is “Awaken” - celebrating nature’s spring rebirth, mythology connected to spring and abundance, and hope. What makes us feel truly awake? How do we nurture hope?

The Work that Reconnects is a powerful body of work that equips us with tools and resources to help us process the weight of our grief for everything that’s happening in the world, from the climate crisis to wars and injustice. By honouring and holding space for our  despair, we are able to reconnect with our inner wisdom, courage, and sense of belonging, realigning us with ‘what is ours to do’.

Inner Resourcing is for you if you are struggling with feelings of fear, grief, numbness or rage about what’s happening in our world. Over the course of two hours, we will move through the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects, as well as have the opportunity to discuss a little of the Work’s basic assumptions and philosophy.

In March, our theme is “Bloom” - celebrating new beginnings, releasing old patterns and inviting creativity and connection. What’s coming alive in us? What’s breaking through the surface?

I'm holding this free space for us come together and share how you're feeling right now. We will also explore a little bit of wisdom from the Work that Reconnects, emotional intelligence, and sacred activism around how we can support ourselves and each other in these times - without trying to stick a plaster (band-aid) over things and pretending everything is OK.

Join me (Gwyneth Jones) and Matthew Painton for a reflective, dreamy afternoon of looking inwards at what the year has brought and what the next year might bring..

In this midwinter gathering, we will connect and interweave deeply personal and wider global perspectives, dreams and stories. Let's plant and nurture the seeds of our collective wisdom and take care of the fragile shoots so that they can germinate and grow.

An exploration of how we can channel our creative writing towards writing on the climate crisis. Using the spiral of the Work that Reconnects as our guide, we will go through a series of writing exercises that take us on a journey through various ways in which we might respond to the times we are in - from connecting to the web of life to honouring our pain, to seeing things from different perspectives and imagining different futures.

In this workshop, you will be led on a magical journey as we connect with grandmothers long passed, hearing the whispers of our ancestors and reminding us of our place in the vast web of life. Perhaps they will offer us some wisdom for the precarious and challenging times we find ourselves living in.

A community workshop for navigating personal-social-environmental change and challenge

A community workshop for navigating personal-social-environmental change and challenge

During this one day workshop I will guide you through the “spiral”, which helps us to face the challenges of the world with new eyes and a sense of rootedness, belonging and energy. The spiral begins with gratitude - what are we grateful for having witnessed and experienced in this world? Then, we honour our pain for the world. All too often we bury and ignore our pain, numbing ourselves because the cost of feeling it is too high.

Join us at the fireside for nourishment, stories and connection. As we head into the darkness of Winter once again, we seek the wisdom of our ancestors, and the living world around us, knowing Autumn as a time to gather around the fire, to tend the flames, and to prepare for the months to come. In a world fixated on the light, on the fast and bright and positive, many of us fear the cold and the dark. How can we “winter” in a way that is enriching and connects us more deeply to our land, to the cycles of the seasons, and to ourselves?

Let us gather in community to practice these sacred connections to seasons, and to the wisdom held in the lives that have come before.

Ten Thousand Grandmothers is an experimental workshop space, utilising Deep Time, an essential aspect of “Seeing with New & Ancient Eyes”, a pivotal phase of the Spiral of Work That Reconnects. Deep Time is a wonderful source of insight and inspiration when it comes to exploring the shift in consciousness that many of us are experiencing, both on individual and collective realms

Rekindling Community and reawakening wisdom for times of upheaval

As we look out into the world, it can sometimes feel as if we are living in completely different place from where we started - the climate emergency, political upheaval, economic instability, and potential collapse of all the systems we have taken for granted until now. How can we orient ourselves and make sense of such a world? What do these times ask of us?

Inner Resourcing is an opportunity for us who may be struggling with feelings of fear, grief, numbness or rage about the goings-on in our world; as well as an introduction to the philosophy and methodology of the Work That Reconnects.

A journey through the elements and the spiral of the Work That Reconnects looking at the year that has been and who we wish to be next. With COVID the world has paused, but have we dreamed ourselves anew? Midwinter is the best time to do that; to do the personal and collective work of dreaming new stories, of finding a new ambition to grow into.

In this afternoon workshop, we will follow a spiral to connect and interweave deeply personal and wider global perspectives, dreams and stories. We are not here to teach: we all arrive as doubtful experts and wise dreamers. Let's plant and nurture the seeds of our collective wisdom and take care of the fragile shoots so that they can germinate and grow.

A one-day introduction to the Work that Reconnects with Gwyneth Jones & Linda Aspey. Based on the root teachings of eco-philosopher, teacher and activist Joanna Macy, The Work That Reconnects supports people to move from a sense of isolation to a sense of participation in our world as we continue to undergo tumultuous and rapid changes during our lifetime.

Join us in gratitude to look at what we have harvested over the year, and to ask the hard question - how will we prepare for the winter (literally and metaphorically)? How can we feel balanced when everything feels so out of sync?

A Work that Reconnects spiral to engage us with the spirit of the Autumn Equinox. Reconnection, resilience, optimism, gratitude
