Jessica Serrante

Jessica Serrante is a ritualist, cultural regeneration facilitator, and leadership coach who works with people at the intersection of their grief, their love for the world and their hunger to create a more beautiful future together. For over a decade she has been a practitioner and teacher of the Work That Reconnects — the transformative framework developed by eco-philosopher Joanna Macy — and is the creator and host of the We Are The Great Turning podcast. Her style is warm, grounded, and a little irreverent — she has a gift for helping you fall deeper in love with life, even when — especially when — it's breaking your heart. She lives in Berkeley, California, where she also tends her beehives. You can find her online at substack.com/@jessserrante.

Turning Toward the Darkness Without Bypass or Collapse

Jess Serrante will share what she's learned in her years of friendship with Joanna Macy and her own experience carrying this lineage forward. Come ready to be tender with yourself and each other. We won't leave with answers — but hopefully with a little more room to carry what's true, together.
