Are you concerned about world problems? Do you recognize a mismatch between the size of the problems and the size of the response? Would you like to nourish and strengthen your response, so that you're better able to make a difference in the world?

The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about. Climate change, wars, political chaos, and species extinctions 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.

The authors also offer a free video-based online course that takes you on a journey through seven areas that can nourish your ability to make a difference in the world. We'll gauge interest after the Book Club to see if people would like to do this course together as a group in February/March 2025! More details at https://activehope.training/
