Our current perception of reality can be described through the lens of three different stories of power. The story of Business as usual tells us that there is little need to change the way we live. The story of Great Unraveling draws attention to the disasters that Business as Usual has been causing. Finally, the story of the Great Turning focuses on the emergence of new and creative human responses to the challenges of our time.
In this Workshop, I invite you to dive into the powerful realm of the Great Turning. After a short theoretical exploration of Joanna Macy’s “Work that reconnects”, we will inform our minds and bodies by experiencing our present lives within larger contexts of time. We will perform a Deep Time ritual in which present people will encounter people from the seventh generation in the future.
Together we will co-create a space in which we can feel the power of acting like ancestors of future generations. We will reflect on our experience and on how we can embody and translate it into our daily lives.
