Active Hope with Joanna Macy

The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about. Climate change, the depletion of oil, economic upheavel, and mass extinction together create a planetary emergency of overwhelming proportions. A new book, Active Hope shows us how to strengthen our capacity to face this crisis so that we can respond with enexpected resilience and creative power. Ecophilosopher Joanna Macy, Ph.D, is co-author of this new book and also is a scholar of Buddhism and deep ecology. A respected voice in movements for peace, justice, and the environment, she interweaves her scholarship with five decades of activism.

Now is the time for all of us to embrace an active hope and practice the fusion of the inner work of heart with outer service in the world. Fall in love with life, and bring love to alife in all that you do...and wherever you go!

As you listen to my conversation with Joanna, may you be inspired and take action.
