About This Collection

The beloved Buddhist teacher and intellectual Joanna Macy died on July 19, 2025. A profound teacher, author, and activist, Joanna was a scholar of Buddhism, systems thinking and deep ecology. As the root teacher of the Work That Reconnects, she created a ground-breaking framework for personal and social change that brought a new way of seeing the world as a wider global community. Her many books include Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in with Unexpected Resilience and Creative Power; World as Lover, World as Self; Widening Circles, A Memoir; Coming Back to Life: The Updated Guide to the Work That Reconnects; and many more. Joanna was a deeply influential figure to those of us at Bioneers and to the wider community, and we are so grateful for her presence and impact on our collective endeavors over the years.
