About Jess Serrante
Hi, I’m Jess. We Are The Great Turning is a newsletter dedicated to exploring what it means to bring all of our love, passion, and messiness to building a more just and life-sustaining world — even amid the mess we’re in.
This substack shares its name with my podcast, which I made with my mentor Joanna Macy, about “living through these wild times with our heart intact”.
Here, I’ll explore and expand on many of the themes that we dug into in the podcast. Things like:
Holding tight to our most cherished visions for what is possible in the world
Navigating and honoring our big, messy, feelings about living in a world in crisis— from love, hope and courage to numbness, despair and outrage
Showing up as leaders in times like these— how we can trade in isolation for interconnection and make our imperfect offerings with gusto.
I’ll also:
Invite you to explore these ideas with me online and in-person through my coaching offerings, workshops and retreats
Share curated links to the things that are making my heart break, burst and beat a bit harder.
