Each day, as we face the news of climate chaos, political warfare, ongoing oppressions, species extinction, and ecological and social suffering, <span style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;outline:0px;background:transparent;font-weight:700">we are asked to
reconcile these collective traumas with all that is breaking in our hearts.</span> It is natural in our time to feel despair, overwhelm, and grief.</p>

Yet, we also have the power to rise to the challenges of this time. We can learn tools for transforming our grief, anger, paralysis, and fear into compassionate connection and action with our world and communities. <span style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;outline:0px;background:transparent;font-weight:700">We
can re-learn our place in the web of life, and rekindle our motivation to act on behalf of life on earth.</span></p>

deep ecology, and Buddhism as well as 50+ years of international activism. Practiced internationally, this work has helped thousands of people to engage in The Great Turning, reinvigorating our capacity for action and resilience. In a time when we face so
much, we engage in this experiential resource that allows us to create an inner spaciousness for healing, connection, and a bold solidarity with the Earth and each other.</p>
