The Heart of Action, a two-part workshop offered in stand-alone one-day sessions, is presented in collaboration with the Santa Fe Community Foundation.

Wanting work and personal action to contribute to global wellbeing is a natural and essential human longing — a definitive aspect of awakening human nature.

Yet, in practice, the needs and opportunities to take action are enormous and it is so easy to be pulled out of balance. When this happens, a polarity forms between the deep desire to be of service and the practicality of managing daily life. It is not uncommon to find well-intentioned organizations and those who work in them, in burnout, over-extended, and unable to personally or collectively sustain the work that needs to be done. At this point it is easy to lose sight of the original aspiration and to experience a loss of heart, becoming confused and disillusioned.

n. Using the Academy for the Love of Learning’s transformative learning model, the workshop is designed for individuals who want to reconnect with their passion and discover ways to bring alignment and renewed vigor back into their work. Attendees will have time for personal and shared reflection, as well as experiential activities that engage a deeper self-knowing. “It’s an opportunity for people to dive deeply into the heart of their longing to be of service,” says facilitator Marianne Murray, “and to bring a new level of understanding and discernment to their work in the world.”

Workshop dates: March 12th 9:30 am – 5 pm and June 11 9:30 am – 5 pm.
Cost: $150 for both, or $85 single workshop.
