In a world that is changing fast, many of us are carrying both love and heartbreak for the Earth—often silently, often alone. We feel the weight of what is happening to our planet and all its beings, even when we don’t always have spaces to name it or share it. This 3-hour online experiential circle is a gentle invitation to come together, to honour what we are feeling about our world, to examine our place within the larger web of life, and to remember that our pain is not separate from our care. Through shared reflection and imagination, including a Council of Beings practice, we will listen beyond the human story—making space for the voices of the more-than-human world, for grief and for love—and explore what it might mean to live in a deeper relationship with the living Earth. We come not to rush into action, but to reconnect with our interbeing and a larger sense of self.

Purpose this fundraiser series:
Spiral Journey extends a lot of scholarship beyond our sliding scale to participants of our programs often ⅔ of our participants need scholarships in order to participate in the FDP.. We don’t turn away applicants for lack of funds – and we explicitly try to expand the reach of our programs into lower-income countries and participants of the Global Majority. In 2025, we also lovingly put a lot of time and effort into rebirthing the Spiral Journey Facilitator Development Program (FDP) to respond to requests and feedback we’ve received from recent graduates.
We’ve expanded our team and have extended 20 partial scholarships to facilitators joining the 2025/26 cohort of the Spiral Journey FDP.
And we need to refill our scholarship pot!
Your contribution will help us extend even more scholarships and pay our facilitator team fairly as part of our commitment to The Great Turning!
Spiral Journey is a partnership of Work That Reconnects facilitators – we are Molly Brown, Sara El-Sayeh, Ian Goh, Rukmini Iyer, Yulia Smagorinsky, and Constance Washburn.
Spiral Journey offers programs and workshops based in the expanded spiral of the Work That Reconnects (as adapted by Mutima Imani), working toward the Great Turning, a livable future and liberation for all. The International Facilitator Development Program (FDP) is a 7-month intensive online training that is offered annually, for emerging and experienced facilitators – with a strong focus on anti-oppression work and decolonization.
Please give something – make a donation. This event is offered as a fundraiser for the Spiral Journey scholarship fund. Your generosity will be deeply appreciated.
Do you need guidance? Think: $50-$100 would be really lovely! Think $5-$500. Think $10-$1,000. Why such a wide range? Because the global income disparity is vast. Because the factor 100 represents the range of payment capacities of our program participants. And because we don’t know your socio-economic situation. So please give what feels right. We are grateful.
Thank you for your support!
