SUMMARY:How to Stay Open-Hearted in a Broken World (for Sensitive Souls)
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets \n\n\nIn a time of rising authoritarianism\, climate breakdown\, war\, mass displacement\, and the rapid destruction of nature\, many of us carry a quiet\, persistent grief. \nGrief for the forests burning. \nGrief for lives lost & uprooted. \nLoss of our mentors and teachers. \nGrief for a future that feels uncertain. \nBut we rarely speak of it. We keep going. We stay busy. We tell ourselves not to dwell on the negative.And yet\, that unspoken grief doesn’t disappear—it sits in our bodies\, our dreams\, our sense of meaning. For many\, it shows up as exhaustion\, anxiety\, or feeling stuck in overwhelm or despair. \nThis gathering is a space to do and feel something different. To speak the unspeakable. To feel what needs to be felt. To remember that we are not alone—and we were never meant to do this alone. \n  \nWho is this for? \nThis event is designed for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)—those who process things deeply\, notice subtleties that others miss\, and often feel emotionally affected by the suffering in the world\, because of a compassionate heart. \nYou might be an HSP if: \n\nYou process emotions and experiences more deeply than most\nYou’re sensitive to noise\, conflict\, or strong sensory input\nYou care deeply about social justice\, the natural world\, and the well-being of others\nYou often feel overwhelmed\, but still long to contribute meaningfully\n\nIf this sounds like you\, you’ll be in good company. This session is led by facilitators who are attuned to sensitivity\, gentleness\, and depth—and who understand how overwhelming the world can feel. \nYou’ll be welcomed into a space designed to support and honour your sensitivity\, not ask you to override it. A space where slowness\, reflection\, and emotional honesty are not just allowed\, but encouraged. \n  \nAbout the Work That Reconnects \nThe Work That Reconnects\, developed by Joanna Macy(who is a good ancestor now)\, is a powerful body of practices that helps us: \n\nTo find gratitude\nUnderstand who we are and how we have been programmed\nFace the systems of oppresion that impacts us\nHonour our pain for the world without being consumed by it\nMove from paralysis to liberation\nTap into the strength that comes from community and collective care\nReconnect with what truly matters\, even amidst uncertainty\n\nThis 3-hour online session (with breaks) is a gently held introduction to this work. It is not a training or a lecture—it is an experience of connection\, spaciousness\, and deep listening. You’ll be invited (never pressured) to engage in practices that support inner resilience and compassionate action. \n  \nWhat You Can Expect \nYou may leave this session feeling: \n\nLess alone in your feelings about the world\nMore grounded and spacious—like your nervous system has had a deep exhale\nReconnected to your values\, purpose\, or a sense of direction\nEncouraged to honour your sensitivity not as a burden\, but as a strength\nInspired to take action from a place of love\, not fear\nNourished by being in the company of people who get it—who feel as deeply as you do\nResourced with simple but profound practices to return to again and again\n\nThis isn’t about fixing you.It’s about remembering what helps you stay open\, stay human\, and stay connected in a world that often encourages the opposite. \nYou don’t need to have the answers.You just need to be willing to come as you are. \n  \nYour facilitators: \n🌿 Mutima Imani We are deeply honoured to be joined by Mutima Imani\, a senior elder in the Work That Reconnects and one of its most experienced and beloved facilitators. Mutima brings a rare and powerful combination of fierce wisdom\, deep compassion\, and ancestral grounding to everything she does. \nA social justice visionary\, healing practitioner\, and global trainer in spiritual activism\, \nShe is one of the few Black women elders in the Work That Reconnects network\, and her leadership brings essential voices\, lineages\, and truths into this process—calling us to reckon with the interconnected crises of climate devastation\, racial injustice\, colonization\, and spiritual disconnection. \nHer work helps us root our activism in love\, not burnout—guiding us gently but clearly into a more just\, embodied\, and interconnected way of being. \nThis is a rare opportunity to learn from and be guided by someone who has walked this path for many years and carries the deep wisdom of lived experience. \n🌿 Priyal Shah Priyal was born into a Jain family in the UK and has devoted his life to Vedic and Eastern spiritual teachings. He is a trained holistic bodyworker\, Hatha and Kundalini yoga teacher\, and Taoist Qi Gong practitioner. Priyal is a facilitator of the Work That Reconnects and brings a grounded\, embodied approach that blends spiritual depth with compassion and clarity. \n🌿 Cindy Gale Cindy is a psychotherapist who has worked exclusively with highly sensitive people for over 15 years. She founded HSPconnect.app. She facilitates the Work That Reconnects alongside her therapeutic work with HSPs. She also coordinates the therapeutic support service for the Climate Psychology Alliance and is a trustee of Heal Rewilding. Cindy is passionate about restoring our connection to self\, to nature\, and to one another. \n  \n\n\n\n\nMutima Imani
