Joanna and Fran Macy’s “Taking Heart in Tough Times” equips us to perceive and take part in the Great Turning, the epochal shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining society.
"The most remarkable feature of this historical moment is not that we are on the way to destroying our world - we've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are starting to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, ourselves, and each other. This is the great and necessary adventure of our time." - Joanna Macy
