Welcome

The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world — we've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other.

The people of Ukraine are in immediate danger from
radioactive ash and dust generated by forest fires
in areas contaminated by Chernobyl fallout.

For peace, justice, and life on Earth, fresh ways of seeing arise, and ancient ways return. This web site opens doors to the new bodies of thought, time-tested spiritual practices, and pioneering group methods, that I find to be powerful inspirations to understanding and action. I share these resources in service to the revolution of our time: the "Great Turning" from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.

In these pages you'll find key aspects of my work:

its sources in Buddhist teachings, living systems theory, and deep ecology;
its experiential methods for group learning, known as the Work that Reconnects,
including despair work, deep ecology work, and deep time work;
information about workshops and trainings;
empowering ideas, such as Nuclear Guardianship;
practices for inspiration and renewal, such as the Council of All Beings and the Elm Dance;
and we include here a link to our new song and celebration sister site: Songs For The Great Turning.

Partake and use for the healing of our world!
