From paralysis to action, from vision to reality

This retreat covers aspects such as the practice of Active Hope, project design and effective communication.

We begin with Active Hope-a practice that transforms fear and despair into inspiration and action-based on Joanna Macy's work, The Work That Reconnects. Together, we will recognize the challenges we face while cultivating resilience, creativity and the courage to move forward.

Next, we will explore how to design, share and sustain meaningful projects, balancing vision with action. We will work on long-term issues such as vision, mission and goals, and also bring planning down to the level of practice by designing our next steps using the Design Network. You will learn about issues related to communication on the internet and in person, and we will also discuss how to manage conflict in a productive way. Throughout the course there is time for deep reflection and connection with others 🌳💡.
