Join us for a moving evening of performance, ritual, and collective experience honoring the life and legacy of Joanna Macy — visionary teacher, ecophilosopher, and founder of The Work That Reconnects, who passed into the mystery on July 19th, leaving behind a rich legacy including decades of dedicated work to help us metabolize our planetary grief and source from a wild love for the world.
Drawing on Joanna Macy’s Council of All Beings practice, this event invites us to expand our perspective beyond the human and reconnect with the wider community of life. Through creative expression — music, poetry, and participatory ritual — we’ll give voice to the Earth’s many beings and hear their counsel for these times, joining in a shared act of listening, mourning, celebration, and imagination.
Guided by Weaving Earth’s spirit of Interspecies Hospitality & Earth Intimacy practices, we’ll weave story, song and interactive experience as we move through the Spiral of the Work that Reconnects:
- Gratitude for the Miracle of Life
- Honoring Our Pain for the World
- Homecoming to the Body of Earth
- Going Forth in Service to Life
Co-hosted by Lydia Violet and Lauren Dalberth Hage. Featuring special guests Drew Dellinger, Karisha Longaker of MaMuse, Logan Navar, Jules Indelicato, Kele Nitoto, and KJ Song, and the Weaving Earth team.
Audio of Joanna Macy’s own voice will be interwoven throughout the evening, a living thread calling us to remember: even in times of great peril, the beauty and wonder of the Earth endure — and so does our capacity to respond with love.

Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education provides nature-based education for action at the confluence of ecological, social and personal systems change.
