Transcript for Joanna Macy – Evidence of Change

global oneness project Evidence of Change There's such a broad expanse of the new ways that I see around me Joanna Macy - San Francisco, California - Eco-philosopher and Activist that are part of The Great Turning. Some have to do with means of speaking truth, like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that started in South Africa, and now they're active and some 15 countries are doing that. And that makes me think of whole new ways of behavior between perpetrators and victims and the justice system-- restorative justice circles. People are listening to each other and transforming the tendency to hate and blame in the most simplest--it's astonishing--way, into capacities to understand. I see new forms coming up with the co-housing and ecovillages, collaborative forms of living, and it's just high time that we tossed off that organized, institutionalized loneliness that is the nuclear family in so many cases. This is the part of The Great Turning that is immediately, emotionally so rewarding. Of course, you have to learn how to listen to each other and give up your attachment to having your way all the time, but what's an adventure without a little discipline? www.globalonenessproject.org - Footage courtesy of the Pachamama Alliance
