In this episode, Joanna Tomkins, a facilitator of the Work That Reconnects, provides insights into the First Chapter of the book "Coming Back to Life", by Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown, called "to Choose Life". 

Including quotes by the contributors to this inspiring book, this opening episode will invite you to listen deeper to your own questioning and maybe research further on some of these great authors.  

This episode presents the "3 stories" that are exposed in The Work That Reconnects framework:

1) Business as Usual

2) The Great Unraveling

3) The Great Turning

It also introduces the "3 dimensions" of the Great Turning:

1. Actions to slow the damage to Earth and its beings
2. Analysis and transformation of the foundations of our common life
3. A fundamental shift in worldview and values

The book "Coming Back to Life" is available in hardback and kindle on many online bookstores. 

We invite you to purchase this book or others by the same authors or to find more resources to practice "The Work That Reconnects" on http://www.workthatreconnects.org
