Active Hope – Nourishing Our Capacity to Act for Life on Earth

Our Active Hope book journey is a shared process to deepen community and resource ourselves in addressing concerns about the world.

Active Hope guides readers on a transformative journey designed to strengthen our capacity to act for life on Earth. While reading the book alone can bring great benefits, the empowering journey is enhanced by the company of others.

“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.” - Joanna Macy

IMPORTANT

Please try to ensure that you can commit fully each week to allow group trust and depth of bonding.
This is a study group with a commitment rather than a book club.
Please book your space early as places are limited to maintain a safe space for honest and fully present participation.
The commitment involves reading and homework practices to try with another participant, a friend or a partner in between sessions. See moreINFO, FAQs & book links.
Please order your Active Hope book ASAP in case of delivery delays or obtain a digital copy. You do not have to start reading until you receive an email about 2-weeks prior. There is the option of borrowing a book also.
