Active Hope
Nourishing our Capacity to Act for Life on Earth
Saturday 9-16 April 2016 (7 days)
Chris Johnstone & Margo van Greta
Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, UK
Findhorn Community 50th Birthday celebration.
Our times confront us with realities that are painful to face and confusing to live with. This week-long workshop aims to strengthen our capacity to respond with Active Hope.
Active Hope is a practice. Like Tai Chi or gardening, it is something we do rather then have. It involves actively participating in the story of moving towards the future we hope for. But what helps us do that?
Informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality and holistic science, the workshop draws upon 'The Work that Reconnects', a system of transformational practices and insights developed by Joanna Macy and colleagues.
It involves a strengthening journey round a spiral of four stages: gratitude, honouring our pain for the world, seeing with new eyes, and going forth.
The week aims to support each participant to find and offer their 'gift of Active Hope' - our best response to the crisis unfolding in our world.
Tiered price (click here for more information): £1050 / £800 / £650
Includes all programme content, 7 nights accommodation, full board and refreshments.
Who we are:
Chris Johnstone is a physician and coach who writes and teaches about resilience, happiness and positive change. He has worked closely with Joanna Macy for more than two decades and was a co-author of the book Active Hope - How to face the mess we're in without going crazy.
Margo van Greta works with spiritual and personal development and internal training at the Findhorn Foundation. She is a passionate Buddhist, a drummer, and facilitates transformation.
