I have long been a tremendous and grateful appreciator of everything Joanna Macy, and so it was a wondrous surprise to recently find out that an acquaintance of mine is co-directing a documentary about Joanna and her profound and empowering perspectives on the times we live in. Called The Great Turning, this documentary promises to be an excellent introduction to the work of Joanna Macy and her colleagues as our planetary culture negotiates the turn from peak oil to ??? Hopefully a mutually enhancing relationship with the earth and each other as Thomas Berry would say.

If you like this project and want to find out more, visit The Great Turning Film’s website. And if you are truly moved, the producers of the film are entered to receive some significant funding if they get enough votes, so please please please visit THIS SITE and VOTE for The Great Turning Film and hopefully this will help them along their most worthwhile way.

Peace and greenery!

The historical mission of the present is to introduce a more integral period of earth development, a period when a mutually enhancing human-earth relationship might be established – if indeed the human is to prove itself to be a viable species on a viable planet. That the human is nonviable in its present mode of patriarchal functioning seems to be quite clear. ~ Thomas Berry
