The Gifts os Active Hope with Joanna Macy
Dec 3 2010
This lecture serves as an introduction to the weekend workshop, but may also be attended separately.
In the lecture and workshop, Joanna Macy will guide us in the Work That Reconnects. She will offer teachings and interactive processes that enliven our understanding of the hidden promise in the planetary crisis, and of our own power and authority to act on behalf of life on Earth. Drawn from deep ecology, living systems theory, and spiritual traditions, this group work grows our courage, resilience, and solidarity for the healing of our world. It helps us to clarify the survival skills needed for navigating the challenging times ahead, as well as the unique and particular roles we each want to play in the Great Turning.
Author, teacher, and eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, PhD, is known the world over for her workshops for social and environmental activists. Drawing on Buddhism, systems theory, and deep ecology, her Work That Reconnects helps people transform despair and apathy in the face of overwhelming social and ecological crises, into constructive, collaborative action. It brings a new way of seeing the world, as our larger living body, freeing us from the assumptions and attitudes that now threaten the continuity of life on Earth. Joanna is an adjunct faculty member at CIIS and the author of several books.
