Born For These Times // A Tribute to Joanna Macy - E240

"The most radical thing any of us can do right now is to be fully present to what is." Joanna Macy

In this deeply special episode, we honour the extraordinary life and legacy of Joanna Macy PHD, visionary teacher, spiritual elder, systems thinker, and sacred activist, whose work has profoundly shaped the heart of All That We Are.

Known for The Great Turning, The Work That Reconnects, and Active Hope, Joanna gave us language and permission to meet this moment fully. To face the grief, uncertainty, and unraveling of our world not with numbness, but with courage, community, and fierce devotional love.

Joanna left her body on Saturday 19th July 2025, in her ninety-sixth year. Her spirit, teachings, and the deep soulprint of her work continue to move through so many of us and the guests, listeners, and circles that shape this podcast.

This tribute brings Joanna's own tender and galvanising voice as she shares The Five Gifts of Uncertainty and we gather a constellation of stories and reflections from a few of the many who've been deeply touched by her work.

You will hear from Will Scott, Nina Simons, Tibet Sprague, Louis Weinstock, Jewels Wingfield and Phoebe Tickell. As well as Holly Ebony, with her song Born For These Times.

Together, we weave a tapestry of respect, love, and courage. An invitation to revisit or begin to explore the teachings that Joanna has to offer.
