About this listen

The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about. Climate change, the depletion of oil, economic upheaval, and mass extinction together create a planetary emergency of overwhelming proportions.

Active Hope shows us how to strengthen our capacity to face this crisis so that we can respond with unexpected resilience and creative power. Drawing on decades of teaching an empowerment approach known as the Work That Reconnects, the authors guide us through a transformational process informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality, and holistic science. This process equips us with tools to face the mess we're in and play our role in the collective transition, or Great Turning, to a life-sustaining society.

This book is such a gem. It addresses the many crisis our planet faces but instead of doom and gloom, it offers strategies and tools to stay hopeful and become empowered with small and big actions all of us can take. Active Hope is the guidebook to help anyone despairing about the world and who wants to bring on change at the same time. A must read for all humanity.
