How can we constructively engage with the emotions and tensions that arise in response to today’s societal and ecological challenges? In this experiential workshop, you will explore The Work That Reconnects (WTR) and its four-stage spiral: gratitude, honouring our pain, seeing with new eyes, and moving forward.

Through reflection, dialogue and experiential exercises, you will explore how this approach can support connection, resilience and active hope, particularly within higher education.
The workshop will take place at Buitenplaats Brienenoord, an inspiring, nature-rich setting, and will be facilitated by Sascha Bol:
In the Work That Reconnects, I found a hopeful and empowering perspective on how we can meaningfully respond to the challenges and transformations of our time. Over the past six months, I have completed a facilitator development programme in this approach. I am excited to facilitate this first workshop and to create a space for connection, reflection and active hope.”
