- The Hidden Promise of Our Dark Age: Discovering Our Wisdom, Strength and Beauty in the Midst of Crisis
One of the great activists and spiritual teachers of our era, Joanna Macy, brings a hopeful message: If we can free ourselves from the delusions and dependencies bred by the “industrial growth society,” something wonderful can happen. If we manage to steer clear of panic, we may well find, at last, the wild power of our creativity and solidarity.
Introduction by Nina Simons, Co-Founder of Bioneers.
This speech was given at the 2009 National Bioneers Conference.
Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.

Great lady, what a powerfull message 🙏 Thank you for sharing! With light and love from Belgium 💛
The tears in my eyes, the lump in my throat make me understand how much pain comes floating on top after Joanna's amazing message. Actual pain, that feels rather great... it's pulling me forward. Thank you Joanna, thank you so much
This is the true beginning of the new cycle in the earth life. Mankind is blessed to be born in this time
this is beautiful and so right on the point that others usually dance around. we are all interconnected. and we all must feel empowered to contribute our unique gifts to regenerate and reindigenize the Earth. love to all 🙏💜
Thankyou Joanna. The workshops I have done with you are among my most precious memories and have provided my deepest inspirations.
The strength of uncertainty, going beyond hope and hopelessness. Thank you Joanna for this.

What an incredible talk! Thank you Bioneers, thank you Joanna.
I love you, Joanna. Always and forever, you mend the parts of my heart that know how to free it from stuckness. I'm so grateful for you and your work in the world. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from you.
We have great work to do
in England we just say "were f**ked!" and then start the non violent direct action!
we shall over come.

Thank you. Sob I did.
How interesting... Joanna's correlation between uncertainty (and not-knowing) and its gift: presence/here and now/choice, which I'd say all go hand in hand in a cluster.
Life is always poetically beautiful (thank you,too, BTW for Raine Maria Rilke's wonderful poem), and we're now being precisely challenged to reverse the imbalances created by the predominance of instrumental reason (and/or logic) in all our stands in the world that has been based on our long-held misconception of certainly which in turn has led us to commoditize our very stand in Life.
So we're now being forced to do without certainty by precisely being urged to BE and DO for the sake of it, genuinely; somehow 'choose without knowing what's more convenient', without knowing the results you'll yield, without access to a certainty that has allowed you to figure out how you can manipulate reality (as in any reality, any department of life) better.
You know what you're doing is driving the world to a quick collapse. You can try something else. You just don't know what's gonna happen if you do, and paradoxically that's the only chance left:
what would you really do? As in, what would you really do if there was no warranty of reward? Where do you really stand?
The only choice available is that you enact the world you want to live in NoW, HERE, at every crossroad, at every choice... For the sake of it. That's the only world you can create. Now is all you've got for certainty.
Where do yo stand in every situation, big and small, of your life? What do you choose to do or not to do? Now.
Zamazing speech , profound words of consciousness and feeling the earth pain right now. Yes we have responsibility .
Thank you from Brasil :)
watching this 2 years later! makes me understand more about this planet process!
Nice poetry.
Words of hope and comfort and false platitudes as the biosphere circles the drain. Most People are no longer even human, but robots, just consumer units, in free fall into the jaws of utter destruction ,into the dust bin of oblivion.
10 years ago this was taped ...and the transition? Well maybe beginning now....
"The instructions i am receiving...."
Wooooow
They heard and feared and went back to deep sleep like others. 😂

I tried to listen but my mind kept screaming “this is late phase western culture”
It might be, but that's the essential point of our time, the heart of what she spoke of but did not mention, is a choice that we all can make in every moment big and small, that even and often without our comprehension may just take us beyond a human inflicted extinction of humanity along with the biosphere as we know it. We don't have to be a 'late phase western culture', when we realise the already present future phase global culture existing in all of us, wanting to be chosen in every moment.

I like that. 👍💙
I view this choice as a personal choice of honor or (accepted) defeat.
What will a person choose after they've become aware of our societies darkside and our collective integrated responsibility.
It may be our most difficult choice, honor or accepted defeat ?
Be silent, consume and obey.
We have a darker understanding of that paradigm now, don't we. May it hurry the f up and implode ASAP.
Just wanted to make mention of the turtle and the dolfin backdrop in that it matches the North American contental scale global land art, kinda, except that they left out the mermaid with the dog and the baby in her lap.,
Don't forget about the animals. The violence that we perpetrate toward the animals....especially those that we have chosen as food source.....is the direct cause of all the human to human violence we are now experiencing in the world today. If we stop the violence toward the animals....and stop breeding them for no other reason but to eat their flesh....We will then see the human to human violence discipate until it is overcome. It will be The Meek (those who do no harm) who will inherit the New Earth.....Join the ranks of the Pure in Heart.....Promote Heaven on Earth.....Be Strong....Be Wise....Be Brave....Live a life that is Vegan and let us Set The Captives Free! Food Is Not Born....and the Time of Reckoning is here.
These folks ever live in India or any poor country?!
We invite you ... Yet we know the echo chamber is for the rich and elite and mostly who understand one language (english).
all them addicted gamers young and old are waiting to wake up and get to work 😂
Expand perceptions
"renewable green energy"??? There is NO such thing. Lost all cred with that statement and makes me question if this is just another group for mindless consumers who "think" they are helping.
Von Hartman: bad philosopher.
Utopians sure love their word salad. Lots of complaining with vague blame and empty problem solving. The belief that good intentions and circle-jerk language will accomplish something. These people gaining power will be truly horrific. Better get good at talking like them now, because they won't allow dissenters to coexist.
Edit: She says intention is more important than results. You can't eat intention. This is literally a just church sermon accept about almost nothing.
Bird, If bird, bird, bird, bird is the word, and Utopians love (and presumably eat) word salad, and, as the saying goes [one is] what [one eats], does that mean Utopians are bird, therefore you, Bird, and Utopians are one and the same?
Correct me if I’m wrong. Then I will be eating crow.
TOTALLY BRILLIANT AND AMAZING! Thank you Joanna!!
