Joanna Macy on Healing the Earth and Ourselves

And as to feelings, all feelings are pure that hold you together and lift you up.
What if we could heal both the planet and our souls at the same time? In this captivating episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Joanna Macy, a trailblazer in environmental activism and a scholar of Buddhism. Macy's work spans decades and includes translating the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, alongside her coauthor Anita Barrows. She dives into the joy of bringing Rilke's words to life in English, all while preserving their original essence.
But that's just the beginning. Macy introduces her groundbreaking concept, 'The Work That Reconnects', a framework designed to foster trust and connection among people, and between humans and the natural world. She explains how this approach helps us see the interconnectedness of all life, urging us to shift from a growth-focused economy to one that prioritizes sustainability. Through personal anecdotes and profound reflections, Macy explores themes like patience, curiosity, and living with unanswered questions.
She also discusses her visions for the future, from the pitfalls of 'Business as Usual' to the hopeful 'Great Turning'. This episode is a heartfelt call to action, encouraging listeners to embrace change and build a more sustainable world. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that blends wisdom, compassion, and practical insights.
