We then go forth with plans and passion for building a sustainable, just culture. Practices include deep dialogue, meditations, dyads and small group interactions, time outdoors to reconnect with the natural world, art, music, and movement, along with presentations and conversations on concepts such as systems thinking, deep ecology, the state of the world, and the “Great Turning” to a life-sustaining culture. We renew and enliven our commitment to serve the healing and well-being of the living Earth and all its species (including our own). We deepen our understanding of our relationship to one another, to other beings in the web of life, to the past and future. This progression allows us to open our hearts to our love for our world and to safely express our grief, fear, and rage about what’s happening to it as well as our passion for justice. This spiral of work cycles through these four stages, each time at a new level of expe rience and insight. However, no matter what the setting and time frame, the Work proceeds through a Spiral: from gratitude, to honoring our pain for the world, to seeing with new/ancient eyes, to going forth in service to the world (according to ones own life situation, resources, and gifts). Workshops are highly experiential and tailored to the needs of each group. Facilitators who have worked intensively with Joanna Macy (including Molly Brown) are available all over the world. Introductory evenings, one or two day workshops, and week-long retreats, are often sponsored by faith, peace, environmental, and/or professional organizations. ![]() I also highly recommend the book Active Hope.

The Work That Reconnects is a transformational body of theory and practice, helping people move from a sense of isolation to a sense of participation in the web of life, from doubting their own wisdom to recognizing their unique gifts, and from inaction to action in harmony with those gifts. ![]() If you are actively working for a sane and livable world, you’ll find inspiration and support and perhaps more of your tribe.
