The "Work That Reconnects" (WTR) is a framework and set of practices developed by Joanna Macy, a scholar, environmental activist, and Buddhist practitioner. It is a holistic approach to personal and collective transformation that aims to address the ecological and social challenges facing humanity.
The Work That Reconnects is rooted in the belief that in order to create meaningful change in the world, we must first acknowledge and confront the pain and despair that arise from our current environmental and social crises. It provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore and express their emotions about the state of the world, while also fostering a sense of connection and empowerment.

Deep Dive
with Lydia Violet
Duration: 60 minutes
In these sessions, you can meet one-on-one with school founder Lydia Violet Harutoonian. Feel free to bring in any questions you have about the "Work That Reconnects," projects you are working on, or anything else that feels relevant to seek thought partnership from Lydia about.
Starts with a short intake questionnaire, so Lydia is already holding your context before the session begins. This is the space for the bigger, harder-to-untangle stuff, including:
• Leadership and community empowerment: working through a specific leadership challenge, such as conflict mediation, confidence in your role, support with decision making etc.
• Holding group spaces: the particulars of facilitating politically and socially attuned groups, towards learning and healing.
• WTR-specific framing: applying the Work That Reconnects lens to personal and collective situations.
• New role support: the leap and recalibration of stepping into something you haven't done before.
• WTR-specific work: going deeper on your own practice, teaching, or facilitation within the framework itself.
Want to keep going? Ongoing sessions are $170/hr. Book a package of 3.
