Continuing Professional Development

The Dance of the Conscious Activist

Facing the challenges of our times by combining Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects with Movement Medicine

with Ben Yeger

Monday June 1st 2026, 2:00 PM BST

6 AM PDT - 9 AM EDT- 3 PM CEST - 4 PM MSK - 11 PM AEST

In this 2hr CPD session we will become familiar with Joanna Macy's extraordinary body of work and the spiral of the Work That Reconnects. Ben will share how he has used this work within a Movement Medicine embodied frame and will offer a space for participants to experience some of these. There will be a space for dialogue and questions which will support those present in exploring how they might want to use this work in their practice. The over riding aim of this session is to find ways to be more explicit in how we can be in service of the bigger picture in these complex times on planet Earth.
