ADVANCED: The Connection Masterclass

At this moment in human history, humanity is suffering through an epidemic of disconnection that presents through increasing mental and emotional distress and dis-ease, systems of oppression and political division, and ecological destruction. These are three facets of disconnection–from ourselves, one another, and the Living World.

Join host Natureza Gabriel, Convener of the Restorative Practices Alliance, for an inter-active deep-dive experiential conversation with twelve luminaries of connection, who will help us explore how to create an internal, inter-personal, and ecological context that supports a felt sense of safety and the emergent biology of connection as the foundation for a human multi-culture.
