On January 14, 2021, Garrison Institute presented a rare conversation with Joanna Macy, exploring our relationship to the earth and the pathways to healing during this critical time. As Macy has asked, “How can I be fully present to my world–present enough to rejoice and be useful–when we as a species are destroying it?” Drawing on her work at the intersection of Buddhist thought and contemporary science, she examined how to transform despair and apathy into constructive, collaborative action.
Watch the full conversation with Jonathan F.P. Rose, Co-Founder of the Garrison Institute:
Hearing Joanna Macy was most profound, inspiring and loving. Thank you, thank you. It is a true blessing to be in the presence of such a wonderful person who has lived I think many lifetimes and is here to share her experiences. Many blessings to Joanna and Jonathan.
I so appreciate the opportunity to hear the wisdom of Joanna and hopefully absorb some of it!
