Rise Up, Rooted: Yoga and the Work That Reconnects
Livestreams with Barrie Risman
Upcoming session: May 7, 7-8:30 pm ET
Join Barrie and a welcoming community of seekers for this interactive session exploring the intersection of the Work that Reconnects and the breath, body, and awareness-based practices of yoga.
The Work that Reconnects is Joanna Macy’s experiential group work that for over 50 years has helped thousands find clarity of vision and emotional sanctuary while living through this precious and precarious moment on our planet.
The heart-centered practices of yoga replenish our vitality and profoundly enrich our experience of the Work that Reconnects. By turning our awareness inward and bringing us into harmony with the intelligence at the heart of life, yoga nurtures within us the most critical spiritual evolution of our time: the shift toward collective consciousness.
Together, the synergy of yoga and the Work that Reconnects expands our awareness beyond the limited narrative of our individual selves, providing a powerful framework for integrating our path of personal growth with our motivation to contribute to a life-sustaining, just society.

Â
The Work That Reconnects is a form of experiential group work designed to foster the desire and ability to take part in the healing of our world.
Since its inception in the 1970’s, it has helped countless people worldwide find solidarity, inspiration, and resilience while living through the unprecedented ecological and social challenges of our time.
Developed by environmental activist, author, and Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy, the Work That Reconnects draws on systems thinking, Deep Ecology, and spiritual traditions, especially Buddhist and indigenous teachings. It is designed to nourish and strengthen our capacity, intention, and enthusiasm to act for positive change. It is for anyone who longs to serve the upliftment of our world in a more powerful, creative, and authentic way.
The Work That Reconnects helps people discover and experience their innate connections with each other and the self-healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action. – Joanna Macy
