The Work That Reconnects, with Gwyneth Jones & Jennifer Harvey Sallin — June 21, 2022

THE WORK THAT RECONNECTS

Coming June 21at 5pm CET, climate coach Gwyneth Jones and InterGifted's founder Jennifer Harvey Sallin will be facilitating an experiential workshop for gifted adults who care about the earth. Based on Joanna Macy's Work that Reconnects framework, we will be exploring gifted-specific ways we can express our gratitude for being alive on earth, honor our pain around what is happening in the world right now, work to see the situation with new eyes, and go forth in action to contribute to the betterment of the world. We will look at how our gifted minds go through these steps and how important it is for us to connect in gifted community in order to validate our complex feelings, reactions, emotions, needs, supportive capacities and action potentials. The workshop will feature discussion, group sharing, guided meditation and group exercises to facilitate the journey through the Work that Reconnects Spiral.
