Sunday May 10th – Join us for a joyful gathering. Topic: The Great Unravelling and the Great Turning – Seeing the World through the Eyes of Joanna Macy
1110 Hillside Ave
Speaker: Sarah Weaver
Buddhist scholar, systems thinker, environmental activist and passionate teacher Joanna Macy died in the summer of 2025, at the age of 96. Through the practices of her seminal “Work that Reconnects”, she helped people transform their grief for the world into “active hope” by experiencing their innate connection with the wonder of life. Macy showed that to love the world is not a passive thing; in fact, in her words, gratitude “loosens the grip of the industrial growth society.” On this Mother’s Day, Sarah will offer a snapshot into some of Macy’s ideas and her work for our common mother, the earth.
