A fascinating and moving workshop - thank you so much Fiona for running it. We were joined by Val, Steve, Paul, Julian, Belina, Liz, Naimh, Charlotte and Peta. A couple of photos were taken, and I hope Belina will upload them here.

Fiona shared this video of Joanna Macy speaking about the Great Turning, and the work that needs to be done to achieve a transformation from an industrial growth society to a life sustaining society.

We experienced exercises which took us through four stages: coming from gratitude, honouring our pain for the world, seeing with new eyes and going forth. It's hard to describe these adequately: they were highly experiential, some wordless, and involving a degree of intimacy and trust not usually asked of workshop participants.

Others who were there may want to add things about their experience, reflections and intentions.
