A Weekend of Active Hope – Applications OpenJoin us for a powerful and nourishing two-day experiential workshop based on the work of Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone.📅 March 14th & 15th⏰ 10am – 4pm both days📍 SHEP Project Centre, Cork👥 Facilitators: Abigail Joffe & Kevin McCaughey💶 Fee: €95 (Course Reference: CN004051)👉 Apply here: forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=z3wJas5pQkq3WbOTZBe4npHBZUhJkVdLkeiXSDRrIt1UNlpXVEwxS...Active Hope is about finding, and offering, our best response to concerns about our world situation. It offers tools that help us face the mess we’re in, as well as to find and play our role in the collective transition, or Great Turning, towards a society and way of being that support the flourishing of life. Active Hope is something we do rather than have. It involves being clear about what we hope for and then playing our role in the process of moving that way.This two-day experiential workshop is based on the book Active Hope, written by the late eco philosopher Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone. During the weekend we will follow Joanna’s process-based methodology ‘The Spiral’ (also known as The Work That Reconnects), through the four stages of: Gratitude; Honouring our Pain for the World; Seeing with New Eyes and Going Forth. The facilitators will guide you through this empowering and transformational process that is informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality and holistic science.By the end of the two days people often feel less overwhelmed by their concerns for the world. They may feel personally nourished by their experience of taking part, strengthened both in their motivation to act for positive change, as well as in their belief that they can make a difference.This workshop is organised as part of the SHEP Ongoing Personal Development programme ...
