The Mystique of Connection: Engaging with Isabelle Dupras
In this episode, I speak with eco-feminist and activist Isabelle Dupras about the work that reconnects, an approach by Joanna Macy that encourages group participation in healing our world.
On March 24, 2025, I had the opportunity to converse with Isabelle Dupras, an eco-feminist and activist. During our discussion, Isabelle illuminated the concept of the work that reconnects, a transformative approach developed by American ecopsychologist Joanna Macy. This group-centered practice fosters the desire and capacity to engage in the healing of our world.
In a time when many of us feel immobilized by fear, it becomes crucial to explore pathways out of this paralysis and identify concrete actions we can take. This practice invigorates our emotional energies, propelling us toward meaningful action. It raises the question of how we can turn our spirituality into a force for greater good.
Isabelle also shared valuable resources during the podcast, which can guide individuals seeking to deepen their understanding and involvement in this movement. Here are some of the sites she mentioned:
- Mères au front
- WELCOME — Joanna Macy & Her Work
- Family Farmer: Find a delivery point and subscribe to organic baskets.
As we navigate these challenging times, the work that reconnects offers a pathway to transform our collective fears into a source of empowerment and action. It invites us to reflect on how we can contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate world.
