July 21, 2025: knowledge sharing as legacy

There will be many tributes to Joanna Macy forthcoming. She died yesterday after an illness and many people who know her well have been posting updates on her end of life journey. Of all the posts though I appreciate Benjamin Taylor’s because as a person unfamiliar with her work he made the effort understand her contributions and find some terrific sources which illuminate her work.

edited later to add a lovely reflection from Rebecca Solnit.

I will probably add some of these to my Facilitation Resources page in due course. Last week on LinkedIn, that page got a shout out and I’m delighted that more people have discovered this resource. It has been compiled to share tools and methods that are public, don’t require money or certification to use, and which are useful in a variety of participatory contexts when addressing complex challenges. The links occasionally rot on that page, so I’ll spend a bit of time in the next little while pruning and adding. Let me know if you find one that doesn’t work.
