The Work that Reconnects
In a recent piece for Tell the Truth Sheffield, Rosalind Dean describes the work of Joanna Macy, and the book “Wild Love for the World”, a tribute to her. She was an inspiring teacher and visionary writer, and an engaged activist in anti-nuclear and other environmental issues since the 1970s.
The full article is uplifting and useful for activists to read. Joanna Macy had a clear vision of the evils of industrialisation, and its opposite, which she called “The Life Sustaining Society” – a future where we all have enough, shared fairly, without destroying our life support systems.
The article also covers Active Hope Training, one of many offshoots from Joanna Macy’s work, which can help with the debilitating feelings of grief and despair that many have felt, when faced with the devastating things that can happen in the world. It concludes with useful links and a short video about her work.
