Today we talk about what Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone's book Active Hope. Specifically the three stages of dealing with the current crisis.

1. “Business as Usual” - Those who refuse to change. The people that believe that the current system is the best or only way.

1. “The Great Unravelling” - Those who are inundated with despair about the fact that people are still in "business as usual" mode. The people that believe that the world is in serious decline + feel hopeless + helpless.

1. “The Great Turning” - Those who are working “to transition from a doomed economy of industrial growth to a life-sustaining society committed to the recovery of our world.”

Where are you? I waffle between 1, 2, and 3 seemingly all the time, but I spend most of my time in 2.
