Recovering from Amnesia: Waking up from mistaken identity & remembering who we really are
The essence of waking up is realizing that, through the trance of separation, we can forget who we are in relation to each other and our world. Deep Ecology, Buddhism, and spiritual traditions across the world offer pathways for waking up, from the case of mistaken identity, and remembering the truth and interconnectedness of who we really are. This unique time of the Coronavirus is inspiring a lot of people to ask deep questions and remember, what is truly important and what is not? Who are we when our habit patterns are stopped away? The beauty is that when we recover and remember who we really are, we don’t have to learn how to be good. Goodness is already here. We don't have to remember how to feel connected. ..we are already inherently connected.
In This Session:
- Stories from spiritual traditions and deep ecology to inspire us to wake up from a case of mistaken identity
- Encouragement for remembering who we really are during and through this time of disruption
- Encouragement for practitioners and change agents for how to step forward from this time and contribute to a kinder and saner world, with even more possibility and willingness

UPGRADE HEREJoanna Macy
Eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, Ph.D, author & teacher, is a scholar of Buddhism, Systems Thinking, and Deep Ecology. A respected voice in movements for peace, justice, and ecology, she interweaves her scholarship with learnings from six decades of activism. Her wide-ranging work addresses psychological and spiritual issues of the nuclear age, the cultivation of ecological awareness, and the fruitful resonance between Buddhist thought and postmodern science. The many dimensions of this work are explored in her thirteen books, including a newly released book, A Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy and the Work of Our Time.
As the root teacher of The Work That Reconnects, Joanna has created a ground-breaking framework for personal and social change, as well as a powerful workshop methodology for its application. In the face of overwhelming social and ecological crises, this work helps people transform despair and apathy into constructive, collaborative action. It brings a new way of seeing the world as our larger living body. This perspective frees us from the assumptions and attitudes that now threaten the continuity of life on Earth.
