Introduction by Nina Simons, Bioneers co-founder and Chief Relationship Strategist

It is a tremendous honor and privilege for Bioneers to be able to welcome back one of the most influential thought leaders, revered teachers, and inspiring role models of our era—Joanna Macy. An author, activist, and scholar of Buddhism, Systems Thinking and Deep Ecology, Joanna created a groundbreaking framework for personal and social change, “The Work That Reconnects” that has equipped tens of thousands of us, activists and engaged citizens, who have felt traumatized and paralyzed by the devastation our species has inflicted on the entire web of life, with a highly sophisticated and powerful psycho-spiritual approach to help us keep working and fighting for a better world. She will share some of the hard-earned wisdom she has garnered in her 9 decades.
