Naropa University's Joanna Macy Center advances her vision, inspiring hope and responsibility for future generations.

The Center empowers individuals to build a resilient world by fostering deep connections with self, others, and nature, inspiring collaborative action. As Dr. Macy taught, this interconnectedness is key to healing.

Naropa University hosts "Reconnecting for a Just and Regenerative Future," a three-day conference celebrating 50 years of Macy's "The Work that Reconnects." It unites leaders from diverse fields to address social and ecological crises, reimagining possibilities.

"Active Hope," by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone, challenges feel-good denial, cynical disengagement, and baseless optimism. Macy emphasizes that there are no comforting certainties or guarantees for safeguarding civilization or conscious life. We may be attending a dying world or birthing a new evolution, but the book stresses the imperative to act on issues we care about.

Inspired by "Active Hope," Cynthia Papermaster and Harvey Wasserman organized an evening of multi-issue presentations on January 10, 2016, at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists.
