Active Hope

The Work that Reconnects; From Worry to Active Hope

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world—climate change, biodiversity loss, inequality or polarisation? You’re not alone. In The Work that Reconnects, you’re invited to explore these feelings in a safe and supportive group setting, and to discover how they can become fuel for hope and meaningful change.

Guided by May van Waes and Chris van Assen, this series of workshops draws on the powerful method developed by Joanna Macy: a mix of deep listening, meditation, systemic work, and group reflection. Through shared experience and heartfelt connection, we move from despair to empowerment—tapping into collective strength and finding your own unique contribution to a better world.

Turn your concern for the world into connection, strength and action

This work is for everyone—regardless of background or beliefs. It’s not about opinions, but about how global challenges affect you, and how we can move forward together with courage, clarity and Active Hope.

Fun fact: Joanna Macy’s method has inspired environmental and social justice movements across the world for over 40 years.
