The Great Turning

the shift to a life-sustaining civilization

Eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, Ph.D., is a scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory, and deep ecology. A respected voice in movements for peace, justice, and ecology, she interweaves her scholarship with four decades of activism. She has created a ground-breaking theoretical framework for personal and social change, as well as a powerful workshop methodology for its application known as The Work that Reconnects.

This website offers a veritable feast of information on what is needed to heal and nurture our earth, the work that is already under way, and personal guidelines to help us take part in this revolution. Joanna also explores Deep Ecology, Engaged Buddhism, Living Systems and Nuclear Guardianship. There are abundant links to resources, organizations and groups who are moving forward in various areas towards the goal of a sane and sustainable future.

This video of an interview Joanna did for the Pachamama Alliance is absolutely riveting.

This is definitely a site to spend some time with...
