During our time together we’ll move through the spiral of the Work That Reconnects using content and original practices from Jo delAmor’s book Raising Children in the Midst of Global Crisis: a Compassionate Guidebook for New Paradigm Parenting. It will be a tender space for being together as parents to acknowledge and feel into how intense, challenging, beautiful and mind blowing it is to be raising children in these times.
This powerful group work strengthens parental resilience, activates our commitment to working towards collective wellbeing and helps us cultivate a sense of community around our experience of parenting. Together we’ll conjure the clarity, courage and solidarity necessary to tune into what our kids really need and figure out how to provide that to them despite the challenges that our current times present.

Jo delAmor is a mom and a step-mom to two young adults (22 and 23 years old) who graduated high school in 2020, right in the midst of Covid lockdowns and school closures. She has also cared for and worked with hundreds of other people’s children of all ages in a wide variety of situations from longterm co-parenting community to public schools, from wilderness camps and preschools to in-home nannying over the last 25+ years. Jo has been facilitating the Work That Reconnects since 2013 with a focus on dismantling oppression, transforming our cultural paradigm and supporting parents through these unprecedented and challenging times. In her dedication to personal and cultural transformation as a catalyst for planetary healing, she has paid close attention to what this new generation needs at this pivotal time on planet Earth; charting what works, what doesn’t and what is being called forth from us as parents. She has woven the insights and practical tools she’s gathered through all of this experience into her practice of New Paradigm Parenting and her forthcoming book Raising Children in the Midst of Global Crisis: A Compassionate Guidebook for New Paradigm Parenting
