Deep Restoration and Renewal

If you're paying attention to the world right now, you’re probably carrying more than any of us were meant to hold alone. Your nervous system feels it. Your heart feels it, too. Nothing is wrong with you—perhaps what you’re carrying simply hasn’t yet had a space to be fully met.

This learning experience is an invitation to welcome the fullness of your experience and find deep restoration and renewal. Join senior yoga teacher Barrie Risman for an online workshop that weaves heart-centered yoga with the Work That Reconnects to awaken hope, authentic connection, and insight that lasts beyond the mat.

Developed by eco-philosopher and Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy, the Work That Reconnects is an experiential group process that supports people in meeting the challenges of our time with compassion and a renewed connection to life. For over 50 years, it has helped thousands find clarity of vision and emotional sanctuary while living through this precious and precarious moment on our planet.

Together with the heart-opening practices of yoga, the Work That Reconnects offers a powerful framework for integrating personal healing with our deepest motivations to care for our communities and the world around us.

In this 90-minute online session, you will:

• Settle and restore your nervous system through gentle, grounding yoga practices.
• Move through guided processes designed to metabolize world-weariness and uncover new sources of strength.
• Engage in experiential practices that inspire and transform isolation into a sense of shared belonging.
• Discover how yoga and the Work That Reconnects support and strengthen each other, creating a resilient foundation for difficult times.
• Renew yourself with tools to move beyond burnout and overwhelm into greater joy and purpose.

Come as you are. All are welcome.
