In this experiential workshop, based on the work of Joanna Macy and Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, we will explore the idea of the Great Turning, recognizing that old systems and institutions are breaking down and that new possibilities are emerging, while honoring our own life experience, interests and passion.
