We’re excited to share some information on a series of workshops that may interest some of our members living in the Northeast.

REALITY CHANGES EVERYTHING: Active Hope Workshops

February 9, 2020 to March 15, 2020

Are you an activist who struggles to keep going in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds against us? Would you like to transform some of that struggle into clearer energy going forward? Do you feel alone in your concerns for our future? REALITY CHANGES EVERYTHING: Active Hope Workshops is a series of events and offerings designed to help us engage more deeply with the near term threats to survival on earth, and the ways anticipated events and changes can and should have a direct influence on the choices we make about our political organizing. If you want to find out if these workshops might be helpful to you, consider attending the Introductory Workshop on Sunday, February 9th from 3-5pm, the first in the series.

ACTIVE HOPE WORKSHOPS: An opportunity to participate in experiential activities based on the work of Joanna Macy. (Those who are interested can check out her books, Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in Without Going Crazy, and Coming Back to Life, or a recent video). These workshops will provide a space to voice our feelings about the climate crisis through structured and guided group activities, so that we can clear our minds and bolster our courage to take the necessary steps moving forward. All are welcome to attend any or all of the workshops. Pre-registration is required at least a week ahead of time. Contact to register or with questions.

The workshops are led by Sarah Nahar, Carole Resnick and Cindy Squillace.
