The Spiral Studio is a 2-day experiential workshop rooted in the Work That Reconnects, designed to move participants through gratitude, honouring pain, new ways of seeing, and going forth.
Blending movement, somatic practice, creative arts and reflective journaling - the sessions create space for embodied exploration and imaginative expression.
Across the two days, participants will dance, sketch, write, and co-create collective gestures while also crafting personal artworks that speak to both inner landscapes and the wider world. By the journey’s end, everyone will leave with not just creative pieces, but also renewed perspective, embodied insight, and a felt sense of direction to carry forward.
Join us on October 18 & 19 for a fun weekend together!

A little more information:
Work that Reconnects workshops guide us 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. By allowing the pain to speak, we also realise that we are capable of feeling for something far beyond our ‘selves’ as we have come to perceive them. Recognising our interconnectedness to life, we begin to Perceive with New and Ancient Eyes, enabling us to Go Forth into the actions that call to us.
About the facilitators:
Gwyneth Jones is a facilitator and coach navigating the place where Deep Adaptation, climate change, psychology and earth-based spirituality meet. She has recently returned to her homeland of North Wales after heeding the call of the land. Gwyneth teaches, writes, and works in climate communications.
Shayontoni Rhea Ghosh is a multi-disciplinary artiste and a facilitator of healing space. She lives and works in Hyderabad, India; and is inspired by water, light, clouds and dogs. She approaches gnosis as a dedicated and earnest student, and is driven by the wish to build an accessible infrastructure for community care.
Shayontoni and Gwyneth met on the Spiral Journey - a Facilitator Development Program for the Work That Reconnects, where they were both learning to facilitate spaces for people to process their grief and rage for our world. After a happy year of co-facilitating, they found out that they share a birthday. Despite having never met in person, the two have developed a strong bond and have been honoured to hold space for several beautiful groups of humans from across the globe.
After facilitating workshops and courses around the Work that Reconnects together over the last three years, they have created Banduri, a partnership whose mission is to create spaces of connection and healing and provide quality resources for navigating the Great Turning. We support people in tapping into their wisdom and resilience, connecting with their full selves, and living authentically to thrive as much as possible in the great unravelling. We bring people together to break the spell that capitalism has cast on us and to reimagine a different world together. We aim to promote healing, connection, and decolonization to create a world in which all life is created equal, and we live in alignment with the earth, ourselves, and each other.
What people have said about Shayontoni and Gwyneth’s workshops:
“I truly love the way Shayontoni and Gwyneth bring themselves into the circle and how they trust the wisdom of the circle to be the wise teacher. There is a real sense of mutual respect and honouring of each person's contribution.”
“This class was really important for me to touch into the feelings that I have been having about climate change (and the systemic problems that have caused it). It was so important to be able to get to hear others and to share with others my thoughts and feelings. I feel much more sane now and have more tools to help myself function in this world.”
