To Our Hopeful Hearts

“Never lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible.”
–Rumi

In these times, it is hard to hold on to hope, to imagine, and stay in a space of possibility. In ImaginAction, we walk alongside those who continue to weave, dream, and connect people, places, and dreams. Our heart is broken wide open and calling those who would feel the call to bring more imagination into action and heal together.

We are glad to share a video from Hector’s work in Colombia at The Soul’s Mycelium, a gathering that brought together 110 participants from 11 countries. Organized by Re-Conectando and ECCO, this gathering became fertile ground for symbiotic connections among individuals and organizations across Colombia, Mexico, Honduras, Jamaica, the United States, Canada, Palestine, Spain, France, and Germany.

The Moving Gathering, hosted by Uri, Ilaria, Caren, and Amit at the end of August and the beginning of September, was a prototype for co-creation, navigating our evolving identities in these shifting times. With practitioners joining all the way from as far as Senegal and Peru, we thank the space and place that hosted us, the Ecovillage L’Alluce Verde in central Italy.

Uri traveled to Switzerland to attend EuroXR, where, with Sebastian from the Presencing Institute, he presented the emerging embodied dialogue journey to explore presence in holographic communications. We met our team members in Bristol, Damian, Anne-Marie, Chris, and Carl, to test and sense embodied futures. Read more in this article and this article written for the GAIA Foundation website.

Throughout August and Septmber, we held spaces to nurture connection and creativity around the world. Dragonquest, Let’s Move series, Theatre that Reconnects introduction course, There Is Another Way, and Eternal Song film screenings. You can find these invitations on Lu.ma/mentoring and now also on our website imaginaction.org.

To Breathe Together is a learning journey scheduled for Senegal in 2026. This session is to ask questions, share interests, and connect with others, inspired by this call. To learn more and register for the joruney, go to the web page

Following our shared screening spaces for the film Eternal Song (August) and There Is Another Way (September), we hold space to watch the film Where Olive Trees Weep and invite you to join a circle of reflection on grief, resilience, and the quest for healing.

This facilitation course is designed to expand skills and knowledge for leading group processes that nurture connection, creativity, and collective action. Participants engage with experienced practitioners and a community of inquiry, learning methodologies including Social Presencing Theater, Dragon Dreaming, and Theatre of the Oppressed.
