The beloved Buddhist teacher and intellectual Joanna Macy died on July 19, 2025. A profound teacher, author, and activist, Joanna was a scholar of Buddhism, systems thinking and deep ecology. As the root teacher of the Work That Reconnects, she created a ground-breaking framework for personal and social change that brought a new way of seeing the world as a wider global community. Her many books include Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in with Unexpected Resilience and Creative Power; World as Lover, World as Self; Widening Circles, A Memoir; Coming Back to Life: The Updated Guide to the Work That Reconnects; and many more.
