Active Hope – How to face the mess we’re in without going crazy – Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone

“What aileth thee?” Sir Percival asked 800 years ago.  Too often we ignore the problem and pretend all is well.  We have to acknowledge the problem is there to do something about it.  We need to understand why our active responses get blocked.  The alarm is what triggers us to act but how do we trigger the alarm?  Alarm and emotion will activate a collective response from the system.
