Could the feelings you’ve been avoiding be your greatest strength?

Joanna Macy, PhD is the beloved root teacher of the Work That Reconnects.
At every workshop she led, before beginning the program, she would circle the room, greeting each participant with a touch of the hand and a kind word. If you’d worked with her before, she would almost certainly remember you. She invited you to be present by being present to you.
Joanna is a scholar of Buddhism, General Systems Theory, and Deep Ecology; and her teaching incorporated all of these varying disciplines. She never taught anything that did not excite or move her. She loved to get everyone up and moving, often beginning each session with the beloved Elm Dance. She would have participants cluster in small groups, in which each participant’s joys, sorrows and ‘aha moments’ added to the buzz in the room.
Many thousands of people around the world have participated in Joanna’s workshops and trainings in the Work That Reconnects, and have been forever changed by this ground-breaking group work. A respected voice in the movements for peace, justice, and ecology, Joanna has devoted her life to five decades of activism.
