ONGOING CLASSES & GROUPS
"The Work that Reconnects"
Friday, December 13th, 6:45-8:30 pm
Saturday, December 14th 10 am-5 pm
at Show Me Dharma Center
1600 W. Broadway, Columbia, Missouri
Facilitated by Caya Tanksi (Columbia, MO) and Allison Wonderland (Crestone, Colorado)
The "Work that Reconnects" is a series of contemplations and interactive exercises developed by the Buddhist scholar, Joanna Macy, to help us connect with ourselves and each other around what is happening in our world and how we engage with its living systems.
The workshop will include meditation, contemplation, interactive exercises in dyads, small groups, and activities with the larger group. It will be a process of deeping connection, building community and the visioning into an economy and society that would be both sustainable and of benefit to All Beings.
The workshop will be facilitated by Caya Tanski (Columbia, MO) and Allison Wonderland (Crestone, Colorado), both certified facilitators of Work that Reconnects.
The schedule is as follows:
Friday evening: 6:45 -8:30 p.m.
Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
We request that you bring your own lunch for Saturday. Teas, water, and snacks will be available on site. We also request that you dress in such a way that you will be comfortable if we have an activity outdoors.
For more information or if you have any questions on this workshop, contact Caya Tanski at cayasadhana@yahoo.com.
