Work That Reconnects: The Expanded Spiral
a 12-hour online workshop with Rukmini Iyer – new dates TBD
This workshop offers a paced, practice-centred introduction to the Work That Reconnects (WTR) through the Expanded Spiral. Over four sessions we journey from Gratitude into Self-Awareness and Social Awareness, then Honour Our Pain for the World, See with New and Ancient Eyes, deepen into Liberation, and Go Forth with grounded prototypes for action. The container is trauma-aware and dialogic, with attention to power, place, and history. Practices include guided grounding, open-sentence prompts, reflective dialogue, and simple systems mapping.
Who this is for: people new to the WTR, or those lightly familiar but without a formal course.
What you can expect: clearer ecological identity, language for systems and interdependence, and a small, well-scaffolded commitment to carry into your context.
This workshop qualifies as a pre-requisite for those applying to the Spiral Journey Facilitator Development Program this year.
