Join us for an immersive presentation and participatory workshop honoring the life and legacy of the visionary teacher, eco-philosopher, and founder of The Work That Reconnects, Joanna Macy, who passed away in July last year, leaving behind a profound body of work devoted to helping us metabolize planetary grief and source courage from a fierce and enduring love for the living world.

Guided by facilitator, musician, and Macy scholar Lydia Violet, this gathering will weave performance, reflection, community singing, and collective experience into a shared act of remembrance. Drawing on Joanna Macy’s Council of All Beings practice, we will be invited to widen our perspective beyond the human story and reconnect with the larger community of life — listening for the voices, wisdom, and grief of Earth’s creatures themselves.

Audio of Joanna Macy’s own voice will be interlaced throughout the program, offering a living thread of guidance and remembrance. Her words call us back, again and again, to a central truth: even in times of great peril, the beauty and wonder of Earth endures — and so does our capacity to respond with love. Come as you are.
