Description:
Joanna Macy’s 1991 book World as Lover, World as Self helped create the Engaged Buddhist movement and has been an inspiration to thousands of people seeking to integrate Buddhist wisdom with social and environmental action. It is the foundation of her life’s work, now known as The Work That Reconnects. Macy is a beloved elder at Spirit Rock and in the Engaged Buddhist community worldwide. This course records the last teaching she gave at Spirit Rock, in 2021, before her retirement.
Along with her long-time collaborator, musician Jennifer Berezan, Macy weaves a sensuous spell of wisdom and heart teachings, engagement with the reality of the climate crisis, and affirmation of interconnection and care for all beings as the core values of the Dharma. Through story and song, as well as meditation and interactive practice, Macy and Berezan explore the enrichment of our view and practice these lenses bring to our experience in the world.
