Joanna's Open Sangha Continues
YOU ARE INVITED
November 12 and December 10, 2015 from 7:15pm to 9:15pm, doors open at 6:30pm.
This is a drop-in event; there is no need to buy tickets or register in advance, just show up.
Drawn from deep ecology, systems theory, and spiritual traditions, the Work That Reconnects has been empowering activists for global justice and environmental sanity around the world for over three decades. Suggested donation (per evening) $20. No one turned away for lack of funds.
We have limited backjacks and chairs, so please bring a cushion to sit on if you'd like one.
These events will be held at the Trackers space (3049 Adeline St., Berkeley MAP) which is next door to Terra's Temple.
STAY TUNED FOR 2016 SCHEDULE.
Coming Back To Life: The Updated Guide to the Work That Reconnects
NEW BOOK! Get it a 100Fires! Welcome
The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world — we've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other.

For peace, justice, and life on Earth, fresh ways of seeing arise, and ancient ways return. This web site opens doors to the new bodies of thought, time-tested spiritual practices, and pioneering group methods, that I find to be powerful inspirations to understanding and action. I share these resources in service to the revolution of our time: the "Great Turning" from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.
In these pages you'll find key aspects of my work:
- its sources in Buddhist teachings, living systems theory, and deep ecology;
- its experiential methods for group learning, known as the Work that Reconnects,
including despair work, deep ecology work, and deep time work; - information about workshops and trainings;
- empowering ideas, such as Nuclear Guardianship;
- practices for inspiration and renewal, such as the Council of All Beings and the Elm Dance;
- and we include here a link to our new song and celebration sister site: Songs For The Great Turning.
Partake and use for the healing of our world!
