Active hope is a concept coined by Buddhist, activist and eco-philosopher Joanna Macy. In the growing chaos on earth, she came up with a way of being that does justice to what is going on and at the same time strengthens ourselves. Active hope is something we do rather than to have. It is not waiting for a miraculous rescue, but a commitment to what you believe in and want to live for. When our responses are guided by the intention to act for our world, the mess we find ourselves in not only becomes easier to face, but our lives become more meaningful and fulfilling. Central to active hope is the Work That Reconnects. This work aims to revive a flourishing connection with life within ourselves, with others and the more-than-human world through fully experiencing the beauty and wonder of nature, but also fully acknowledging how we feel about loss and decay.
