"I am a mother, wife, friend, sister, storyteller and in love with our Earth. Active Hope is my practice and my remedy. "Active Hope is a practice. Like tai chi or gardening, it is something we do rather than have. It is a process we can apply to any situation, and it involves three key steps. First, we take in a clear view of reality; second, we identify what we hope for in terms of the direction we’d like things to move in or the values we’d like to see expressed; and third, we take steps to move ourselves or our situation in that direction.” Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone (more information here: https://www.activehope.info)"
