<h2>Workshop: Active Hope with Sarah-Jane Cullinane</h2>Part of Entangled Life - Climate Crisis and Mental HealthWednesday 3rd December, 6–8pm Sarah-Jane Cullinane (PhD) (Facilitator, mindfulness teacher, and sustainability educator)Venue: Pallas Projects/Studios, 115–117 The Coombe, The Liberties, D08 A970 In the midst of climate breakdown, violent conflict and oppression, political polarization, increasing income disparity and ecological destruction, it's easy to fall into despair, overwhelm or numbness. The dominant culture of modernity thrives on this psychic numbing which impedes our capacity to collectively respond with resilience and imagination.During this experiential workshop with Sarah-Jane Cullinane we will learn about and experience the spiral of The Work that Reconnects and the practice of Active Hope, developed by eco-philosopher and environmental activist Joanna Macy. This work was developed over many decades using teachings from systems thinking, deep ecology, undoing oppression and spiritual traditions.This spiral journey includes four stages that we will experience together as an interactive group process: 1. Coming from Gratitude 2. Honouring Our Pain for the World 3. Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes and 4. Going Forth. It’s a process we can experience over and over again beyond this workshop, each time gaining new insights, boosting our resilience and strengthening our resolve to act on behalf of all life. Creative arts practices are woven throughout to support us in awakening our emotional and imaginative capacities.Following the workshop, we will also share further information and resources with participants who wish to explore this work further themselves or with others.—This workshop offer space for shared reflection on emotional responses to the climate crisis. Please take responsibility for your own wellbeing and participate only if you feel ready and comfortable engaging with these themes.
