  • Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects: A Retreat For Recognising Ourselves As Part Of ‘Nature’, Connecting With Ourselves, Others And With Earth

    Teacher: Tsunma Tsondru
    Cost: 2 days accommodation
    Dates:

    tsunma tsondruAre you carrying painful awareness of climate breakdown, economic inequality, social rupture, environmental degradation, systemic greed, and ecological loss? Do you at times feel isolated in these feelings, unsure how to move forward, or how to channel your care into meaningful action? Do you feel with David Attenborough that ‘I would rather not think about what the future holds’?

    The effects of climatic unravelling are becoming unavoidably apparent. It should be no surprise that we are experiencing a profound loss of confidence in the future. The personal anxiety we are feeling about this is perhaps the major unacknowledged underlying social crisis of today. Our society tends to pathologize this anxiety, ascribing it to personal ‘failings’ that must be ‘fixed’. Our lonely coping mechanisms are numbness, apathy, and/or panic. Rightly understood, though, these anxieties are simply the rational response to what we see happening around us. The Work That Reconnects is based on this understanding, and seeks to reconnect us to these feelings, bringing them into the light to be understood, rather than fixed, to propel our inner transformation.

    This three-day retreat invites you into a container of truth-telling, deep listening, and collaborative hope - grounded in the transformative Spiral of The Work That Reconnects developed by Joanna Macy which will guide us through an ever-deepening spiral of  gratitude;  honest acknowledgement of anxiety, fear and loss; a realising that our anxieties are no less than messengers from our compassionate hearts and proof of our deep caring for, and belonging to, Earth and to one another. The Spiral teaches us to feel fully, witness clearly, and act creatively—alone and together for an Earth future that is life-sustaining, flourishing, compassionate, and equitable.

    Awareness and mindfulness are the indispensable ingredients throughout. By cultivating present-moment attention, participants develop the capacity to notice the gifts of life, witness difficult
    emotions without overwhelm, make conscious and wise choices rather than be reactive, and sustain engagement even amid crisis. This contemplative foundation makes space for our inherent
    wisdom to flourish, preventing burnout and driving transformation.

    Cost: 2 days accommodation + R400 surcharge
    Dates:

    mark josephJoin Mark Joseph for a transformative retreat focused on mindfulness. At the best of times our minds run riot leaving us exhausted, stressed and often difficult to live with. The simple act of closing our eyes and focusing on our breath can do wonders for our body and mind, but at the root of our tension and dissatisfaction is something that we should investigate more fully for meditation to be beneficial. Over the retreat weekend you will tap into your calming energies, combined with gentle mindful movements you will begin to feel more at peace and at ease.

    Key Benefits:

    • Improved focus and attention management
    • Effective stress management
    • Enhanced emotional intelligence and empathy
    • Insights for personal and professional growth

    Experience how mindfulness can positively impact your well-being.

    Mark Joseph is truly grateful to have been part of the shift in the world of mental health from reactive to pro-active. His training is in mindfulness, neuroscience and positive psychology - which he brings into his teachings. Living in a Buddhist temple for 3 years and backpacking the Himalayas was life-changing and encouraged his love of ancient systems for building resilience and tenacity. His journey with his own struggles with mental health began at a young age, with daily panic attacks - fuelled by the suicide of his father due to ill mental health. By using pro-active techniques of mental wellness and mindfulness, his life stabilised and improved. This approach became his passion and led to his teaching and speaking on the subject as far back as 2001. In 2018 Mark took the leap from Managing Director of an advertising agency to become a full time mental health speaker and facilitator. In a few short years he has been instrumental in the change in culture in large corporations and his role has also expanded to wellness strategist and advisory. Mark truly believes that we can change the world, one liberated mind at a time.
