Moving Between the Worlds
A Work That Reconnects Retreat
Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center
Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 2026
“There is no human flourishing without Mother Earth flourishing.”
“The Work That Reconnects helps people around the world discover and experience their innate connections with each other and the self-healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action.”
– Joanna Macy
Using the Work That Reconnects practices, meditation, time in nature, movement, art and ritual we will explore how we can navigate this evolutionary time on planet earth without tuning out or burning out. We are moving between worlds. We are learning to leave behind the world view of humans as separate from the earth.
This view has led to massive destruction and suffering for both humans and the natural world. We are in the Great Turning towards a global rediscovery of ourselves as part of the earth and indeed a part of the vast creative universe.
Our retreat will take place during a week of the year when the veils between the worlds are thin. As is celebrated in cultures around the world, we will move into this time to find our way to dance between the worlds.
Through practices, reflection, ritual and ceremony we will step into deep time, connect to our ancestors, the future beings and to the evolutionary forces of the Universe.
The retreat is designed for practitioners, facilitators, therapists, educators and changemakers who are drawn to inner and collective work rooted in ecological awareness, compassion, and active hope, and who wish to deepen their capacity to meet uncertainty with presence and care.

“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear. People who can open to the web of life that called us into being, and who can rest in the vitality of that larger body.”
— Joanna Macy
