Start in gratitude, appreciation, then make space for the river of grief, the storm of rage, the heavy stone of numbness, if we let all that wash through us, we can see with new eyes, and go forth into the world with new energy and sense of being part of it all. Join us for the 4 practices of The Work that Reconnects.
