Holding Both: Facing Climate Crisis and Cancer in Community (6-Week Series)
A ‘Work That Reconnects’ Podcast Club
This virtual podcast club is an opportunity to experience the fullness of our feelings – fear, anger, grief, love, gratitude and hope – as we reflect on the reality of living with cancer at a time when our whole planet’s health is at risk. This work can only truly happen in community.
Strengthened by our shared purpose, we will listen to We Are the Great Turning, a new podcast featuring revered climate activist and Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy and her dear friend, mentee and fellow activist Jess Serrante in conversation about the Work That Reconnects.
Developed by Joanna Macy over decades of facilitating groups around the world, the Work That Reconnects is a process for navigating climate grief in community that allows us to ground into our gratitude for life, honor our pain for the world, see with new / ancient eyes and go forth with new purpose. In our weekly meetings, we will discuss podcast episodes, engage in practices from the Work That Reconnects, and – above all – reflect on what this courageous act of caring means in the context of a cancer experience.
This group will meet for 6 weeks on Thursdays from October 9 – November 13 from 3:00-4:30pm EST on Zoom.
