What participants of Margo’s previous courses said:
'This is a wonderful course, gives us insight into our thoughts and perspectives and helps us to clarify our place and activity in the world.'

So What?
The Great Turning is a shift from the Industrial Growth Society to a life-sustaining civilization. Its three dimensions are:
- Actions to slow the damage to Earth and its beings.
- Creating structural alternatives
- Shift in Consciousness
We will move through a journey called the SPIRAL, which includes:
- GRATITUDE: building up resilience as we do so.
- HONOUR OUR PAIN for the world, as grieving is an essential part of stepping into wholeness.
- SEEING WITH NEW EYES, shift our perspective and integrate this in our life.
- GOING FORTH, where we explore our vision of the world we do want to live in, and identify steps we are willing and able to take, no matter how small or large.
Using practices from The Work That Reconnects and Active Hope, we engage in
- Inner work, art and ritual, bodywork and breathing, sharing in small and medium size groups.
- Buddy group meeting during the week.
- Integration activities and some inspirational videos.
