How Can βThe Work That Reconnectsβ Help Us With Metacrisis Anxiety?
Joanna Macyβs work has been helping people process environmental collapse for decades β so what is it and how can it help?
Sh*t's bad, but... how are we dealing psychologically with all this information? And how can The Work that Reconnects, a quirky little facilitation method born in the 70's, help us with those feelings?
What I do when I'm off "leading a workshop":

A story I wrote a while back... we could call this a kind of hopeful #climatefiction or #collapse fiction.
It's written from the perspective of a woman in 2100 remembering what her grandmother told her about the time things changed...

The Loss of the Night Sky
One-third of the world may never see the Milky Way β what does that mean for our sense of wonder, curiosity, and humility?

Happy new year everyone! This year, I am aiming to be much more intentional about the social media I consume and to close some tabs + really try feeling into what I WANT to read/watch vs what I feel I "should" because it's there or someone's shared it with me. Might even quit Meta.
What about you?

We need to stop pathologising βwanting to save the worldβ
Itβs usually a well-meaning attempt to avoid burnout or delusions of grandeur, but hyperindividualism has also framed our need to help as aβ¦
"In a nutshell β Iβm wondering whether what we consider βdoing too muchβ or βhaving poor boundariesβ in the West* is what the majority of people across the world, or throughout history, consider to be a normal part of living in a community."

Might as well promote old stuff! 3-4 years ago, I interviewed a bunch of AMAZING people from around the world doing the work to write a new (or ancient) story for the world. I called it The Story Anew.

Is our fixation on healing, self-care & self-improvement making us sicker?
Part I: The more I focus on feeling better, the harder it is to feel better
"If loving ourselves, prioritizing, caring for & working on healing ourselves is the answer⦠then why are we more distressed & sicker than ever before on a global population level?"

The importance of finding a climate-aware therapist or coach
And: is therapy even up to the challenges of the metacrisis?
"...If you tell a regular Western therapist that youβre feeling the pain of a tree that was cut down, the sadness of a species thatβs been wiped off the planet... they may tell you that youβre projecting and just imagining things."
