At the beginning of March, the great ballet of spring is about to unfold, and yet only the beginnings are visible. In this workshop, we’ll open our eyes and perceptions to our inner sprouts. We’ll be attentive to the beauties in our lives and our environment, like the little flowers of spring that we can make bloom. We’ll also dare to look at our suffering in the midst of a world in danger.

Mars is the symbol of energy, action, initiative and courage. It gives us the impetus to move forward with our intentions and chosen objectives at the start of the year: it’s a time for progress, a time to look to the future and set our projects in motion.

The theme of this workshop will therefore be to welcome what emerges and to move forward, echoing Joanna Macy’s book “Hope in Motion”. It follows the Work That Relates (WLR) spiral process, which she also modeled. To this are added techniques from Methods of Action (Moreno) and exercises from Theory U (Scharmer). It’s all about lightening what’s heavy inside us, when we think about climate challenges and the degradation of our environment, to activate our faculty of wonder and grow our potential for action.

We’ll follow the 4 stages of Work That Binds:

• Expressing gratitude
• Honoring your pain
• Change your outlook
• Moving forward

The exercises and rituals proposed are performed in groups, in duets or solo, indoors and outdoors, as often as possible. They mobilize the body, the senses, the emotions and the intellect. They require no special knowledge or prerequisites.
