How Can β€˜The Work That Reconnects’ Help Us With Metacrisis Anxiety? Joanna Macy’s 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":

How can we emotionally process climate collapse (eco-anxiety, climate grief, metacrisis distress etc)? Our planet is in crisis. Or, perhaps more specifically, life on earth as we know it is in danger. When I think about this, I can feel my chest tightening, my stomach clenching, and my heart rate incre...

"If you are feeling deep rage, fear or sadness about the metacrisis, remember that these are important emotions that are trying to tell you something. Emotions are vital data."

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...

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 β€œwanting to save the world” It’s usually a well-meaning attempt to avoid burnout or delusions of grandeur, but hyperindividualism has also framed our need to help as a…

"In a nutshell β€” I’m wondering whether what we consider β€œdoing too much” or β€œhaving poor boundaries” 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 you’re feeling the pain of a tree that was cut down, the sadness of a species that’s been wiped off the planet... they may tell you that you’re projecting and just imagining things."
