The Great Weaving emerges as a bridge between two defining forces of our time
what Joanna Macy so poignantly names The Great Unraveling and The Great Turning

We are living through a time of deep rupture and systemic collapse
The Great Unraveling is the widespread disintegration of social, ecological, and spiritual fabric
manifesting as climate chaos, mass extinction, growing inequality, extractive economies, and a profound crisis of meaning
It is the story of separation made visible: separation from the Earth, from each other, from the sacredness of life

Yet, amidst the unraveling, a quieter story is unfolding – The Great Turning:
a global shift from industrial growth society to life-sustaining ways of being
It is the reweaving of relationship, the regeneration of land and spirit
the rekindling of community, the restoration of the commons

All around the world, people are remembering how to live in right relationship
reviving ancestral wisdoms, co-creating solidarity economies
designing regenerative systems, and imagining futures rooted in kinship, justice, and care

The Great Weaving is both an invitation and a practice
It calls us to listen for the threads, both ancient and emergent
and to interlace them into patterns of coherence, resilience, and beauty

It is a sacred, playful, and participatory way of sensing where The Great Turning is already alive in our communities
and of stitching our own actions, visions, and longings into the wider tapestry of transformation

To weave is to remember that we belong to one another
It is to become part of a living mycelial web of possibility
tending to the seeds of life-sustaining futures, even in the soil of collapse
