"Future generations, if there is a livable world for them, will look back at the epochal transition we are making to a life-sustaining society. And they may well call this the time of the Great Turning. It is happening now." - Joanna Macy

My hope is that you, dear reader,
will feel both drawn to what you relate to in these stories and challenged & inspired to see more clearly what role you could take in the great turning locally & globally.



​WHAT IS THE GREAT TURNING? 


​IT IS, AS JOANNA DESCRIBES IT, THE SHIFT FROM THE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH SOCIETY TO A LIFE-SUSTAINING CIVILIZATION. IT IS, SHE BELIEVES, THE THIRD MAJOR REVOLUTION OF HUMAN EXISTENCE, AFTER THE AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS. THIS ONE, THOUGH, HAS TO UNFOLD MUCH MORE QUICKLY. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT IS, ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

IN THIS BI-WEEKLY BLOG SERIES, I WILL DESCRIBE EXAMPLES OF THE GREAT TURNING HAPPENING IN ALABAMA, THE US AND ABROAD. WHEN I TRAVELED, I OFTEN WROTE LETTERS HOME TO MY FAMILY ABOUT THE surprising, RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS I MET. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A GLIMPSe INTO DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF THE GREAT TURNING. this is my attempt to DOCUMENt MY PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE I SEE THESE THREE DIMENSIONS OCCURRING now and, THROUGH DIALOGUE HERE AND IN PERSON IN THE WORK OF 'WILD GROUND', learn about what others are experiencing, too.
