"Of all the dangers we face, from climate chaos to nuclear warfare, none is so great as the deadening of our response." - Joanna Macy
Join Mutual Morris's Climate Change working group at our upcoming book reading and discussion in Madison this month!
The challenges we face can be difficult to even think about. Climate change, war, extreme inequality, economic upheaval, and the dying back of nature together create a planetary emergency of overwhelming proportions.
The book 'Active Hope' (Revised Edition) by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone shows us how to strengthen our capacity to face this crisis so that we can respond with unexpected resilience and creative power. We are excited to be reading it together this January, learning from it, and figuring out how we will move forward in this world together, keeping each other safe. For this reading, we will meet together three times for discussions, activities, and camaraderie. Hope is most active when it is shared!
The book is divided into three sections, which we will discuss on three separate dates in Madison on Wednesdays, January 14, 21, and 28 from 6:30 to 8pm. Email info@mutualmorris.com to reserve your space in the discussion group. Space is limited! (Also please let us know if you would be interested in a virtual option, as we are considering one for February.)
Buy the book if you can, or let us know if you need a gift copy - we have a limited amount, only available for those who can attend all three discussions. The book can also be found online in e-book formats, and as an audiobook.
The crisis is here, but our better world is waiting, and we have a lot of work to do to take care of each other through this transition. Join our working group today and help us learn and teach!
