What’s really going on in the world right now? “Business as Usual”—a comforting narrative in which industrial growth and progress overcomes all? “The Great Unraveling” —a planet careening toward inevitable destruction? Joanna‘s work introduces a third story, “The Great Turning”—a paradigm shift on an epic scale, the creation of a just and life-sustaining society. The stakes are high, the outcome uncertain. This conversation invites you to devote yourself to the Great Turning even as you grasp the truth in all three stories.
In this episode:
Three outlooks on these times: Business as Usual, the Great Unraveling, and the Great Turning
What’s behind all three—how they affect us in conscious and unconscious ways
What the Great Turning means, and how to devote yourself to it
Bonus Exercise: Envisioning the Great Turning
We recommend starting a podcast club with friends or family to do these practices together. Links and assets to help prompt reflection and build community can be found with every episode on WeAreTheGreatTurning.com.
