COMING TOGETHER IN THE GRT TUR
內容簡介
Collective Liberation and Work That Reconnects
How do we create group spaces that are truly safe, inclusive, and transformative--especially when patterns of harm still show up within them?
Coming Together in the Great Turning is a practical, deeply informed guide for facilitators ready to engage the realities of power, oppression, and group dynamics--while building spaces rooted in collective liberation and care.
Building on the legacy of Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects, this book supports facilitators in moving beyond intention into skillful, grounded practice. It addresses the real challenges that arise in workshops and group settings--and offers clear, compassionate pathways toward more just and resilient ways of working together.
What You'll Gain
- The confidence to recognize and respond to patterns of harm as they emerge in group spaces
- Practical tools for trauma-informed, anti-oppressive facilitation
- A deeper understanding of how systemic oppression shows up interpersonally and collectively
- Strategies for shifting from disconnection and harm toward "interconnected systems of support"
- Approaches to fostering trust, accountability, and meaningful participation.
Rather than offering abstract theory, this guide draws from decades of lived facilitation experience to help you navigate complex group dynamics with clarity and care.
