Joanna shares five stories from her more than 30 years of studying and practicing Buddhism and deep ecology. Gathered on her travels to India, Russia, Australia, and Tibet, these stories testify to Joanna Macy’s belief that either humankind awakens to a new and deeper understanding of our interconnectedness with its planet or risks losing it.

Widening Circles: A Memoir (New Catalyst Books, 2007)
This story of my life recounts how a devout Cartesian, schooled at a french lycee,
falls in love with her world and ends up as a Buddhist teacher of deep ecology. Adventures
along the way move between Himalayan hermitages and political action, impelled by
a determination to wed spirituality with social change. Now Available at http://www.newsociety.com.

This book of readings, meditations, rituals and workshop notes prepared on three continents helps us remember that environmental defense is nothing less than "Self" defense. Including magnificent illustrations of Australia's rainforests, Thinking Like a Mountain provides a context for ritual identification with the natural environment, inviting us to begin a process of "community therapy" in defense of Mother Earth. It helps us experience our place in the web of life, rather than on the apex of some human-centered pyramid. An important deep ecology educational tool for activist, school and religious groups, Thinking Like a Mountain can also be used for personal reflection. Now Available at http://www.newsociety.com
Mutual Causality in Buddhism and General Systems Theory: The Dharma of Living Systems (SUNY Press, 1991).
