Active Hope.  When we come across challenges and set backs while working towards protecting what we love, where do we turn when we feel run down or defeated?  Active Hope is an amazing workshop experience based off of The Work That Reconnects by Joanna Macy.  Please join me along with Environmental Writer and Activist Kathleen Rude as she takes us through the 4 Stages in Active Hope.  Kathleen is a Shamanic Practitioner and Ceremonial Leader and a Senior Facilitator and Mentor in the Work That Reconnects.  Don’t despair, get Active with Active Hope.
