The great turning is a revolution that is underway, the transition to a life-sustaining society. This is sprouting up in countless ways: new ways of holding the land, new ways of generating energy, new ways of producing food (some of them very old ways, we are going back to the wisdom of the ancestors, of the indigenous people often), new ways of measuring prosperity and wealth, new ways of handling differences through nonviolent communication, through restorative circles instead of the dominant punitive penal system now…

The above is from an interview with Joanna Macy on the On Being podcast.

Macy couples this with “The Great Unraveling,” the accelerating collapse of the current ways of doing these things.
