A global revolution is underway: the transition from a self-devouring consumer society to a lifesustaining civilization. A key feature of this Great Turning is the rediscovery of our interconnectedness with all life forms, and the power it provides us for the healing of our world.
Drawing on spiritual teachings, we recognize the grief that we are carrying for our world and see it as living proof of our mutual belonging, and an integral part of humanity's awakening. Drawing on systems theory, we recognize how self-organizing systems use adversity to evolve in complexity and intelligence.
Taking a vacation from our society's addiction to speed and short-term thinking, we will open to vast stretches of time, seeing our lives in ever wider contexts. Our evolutionary journey will become more real to us and to future generations as well, helping us to understand what these future generations need us to do now. This Deep Time work brings buoyancy and staying power for the long haul.

Interweaving her scholarship and four decades of activism, she has created both a ground-breaking theoretical framework for a new paradigm of personal and social change, and a powerful workshop methodology for its application. Her work helps people transform despair and apathy, in the face of overwhelming social and ecological crises, into constructive, collaborative action. Joanna is the author of several books including: Coming Back to Life, Widening Circles, World as Lover, Mutual Causality, and In Praise of Mortality.
