On Saturday, January 28th, a workshop entitled Active Hope: Inspiration and Courage for Times of Great Change will be offered by the Interfaith Climate Action Network (ICAN) and the Middlebury Area Clergy Association (MACA). All of life is experiencing rapid and unsettling changes. While living in these challenging times can generate fear, despair and anxiety, we also need to remain in touch with our capacity for great joy, compassion and love. Facilitated by conservation biologist and Midd environmental studies professor Marc Lapin, this day of interactive practices (based on methods pioneered by Joanna Macy) is aimed at embracing these powerful, entangled emotions to build motivation, creativity, and solidarity.
