In this complete interview eco-philosopher Joanna Macy describes the Great Turning: the incredible opportunity to live our full humanity. "The Great Turning is a name for the essential adventure of our time: the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization." According to Macy, this shift requires qualities such as courage, fierceness of heart and moral imagination. We cannot know the outcome of our efforts, but this unknowing helps us to fully engage in the reality of the present moment.
