Seventh Generation Workshop

Neighbourhood Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Expand your perspective on these troubled times; Clarify your role in the self-healing of our world. An experiential deep time workshop.

Experience yourself as an ancestor. See our times through the eyes of a descendant. The "Seventh Generation" ritual invites us to reinhabit time in a saner way as we feel our connection to generations past and future.In supportive community, we will honor our pain for the world, reconnect to active hope, and find clarity around how we can play a part in the self-healing of our planet.

"The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world. We've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other." ​- <a href="http://www.joannamacy.net/aboutjoannamacy.html" title="http://www.joannamacy.net/aboutjoannamacy.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Joanna Macy</a>"This was an incredibly powerful experience... although there was a lot of discussion it transcended words, invoking a shift in the self at a core level." - participant in one of Natalie's previous Work That Reconnects workshops___________________________________________
