Coming Together in the Great Turning: Collective Liberation and Work That Reconnects

None of us are free until all of us are free—overcoming systemic oppression through transformative group work.

The Work That Reconnects has helped countless individuals to move through denial and despair into meaningful, collaborative action. This essential guide is ideal for those seeking to deepen this work by addressing systemic racism, injustice, and oppression.

Rooted in the deceptively simple premise that none of us are free until all of us are free, Coming Together in the Great Turning represents a decade-long interrogation and expansion of the revolutionary practices of the Work That Reconnects. Powerful contributions from practitioners:

• Address the false split between environmental and social justice and identify the common roots of human rights abuses and ecological destruction

• Explore how intersectional systems of oppression manifest in group settings and provide strategies for shifting these dynamics to interconnected systems of support

• Demonstrate how to move beyond "-isms" and identity politics toward true diversity, equity, inclusion, allyship, solidarity, collective liberation, and a "Just Transition"

• Share powerful perspectives, teachings, exercises, and rituals drawn from the practical experience of facilitators worldwide

• Offer specific guidance for creating safer spaces and expanding cultural competency through anti-oppressive and trauma-informed facilitation.

This vital resource is required reading for facilitators and participants, change agents and activists, visionaries, and anyone who feels pain for our world and is committed to catalyzing change for a just and thriving world.
