The Great Turning: Revolution for the Sake of Life on Earth

A short course with Joanna Macy

The Great Turning is a name for the shift from the industrial growth society 

to a life sustaining civilization. It is the essential adventure of our time, 

allowing us to discover new dimensions of courage, creativity and spiritual 

power. This course examines key features of this epochal revolution, ways we 
are 

already taking part in it and steps we can take for fuller engagement. Our 

sessions will include reflective sharing, meditations, and interactive 
practices 

for experiencing our mutual belonging in the living body of Earth and our 

unique gifts for the healing of our world.

Joanna Macy is an ecophilosopher and activist with an international following 

of her work in systems theory and Buddhist philosophy. The group work she has 

pioneered to empower agents of social change is used around the world in 

movements for peace, justice and ecological sanity. Her books include Coming 
Back 

to Life, Rilke’s Book of Hours, and her memoir Widening Circles. For her
