Stewards of the Work That Reconnects around the world
Help us support the people who show up for our world, so they can keep going for the long haul.
We impact the lives of actual students doing amazing work, and they impact our school in return.
The School for the Great Turning has, from the very beginning, been powered by the momentum of our people - the ones who believe earth-based education and healing should be available and open to ALL.
Here's what we're planning next...
This fall and into 2027-2028 we're expanding to offer more in-person gatherings, from writing and music-activism classes, deep ecology and community outreach events. Our fund needs to grow with them.
For five years, this community has raised roughly $25,000 annually, and that money has held our no-one-turned-away commitment together.
It has covered nearly everyone who asked for support in our online programs. For in-person gatherings, historically we’ve only been able to say yes to half of all scholarship requests.
They cost more per person because they include food, land, travel, and the time of the people holding the space. In-person also offers opportunities that people need most in times of promise and peril- real-life connection.
We're raising 50% more this year because the work in front of us requires it.
Help us Nourish the Do-Gooders.
Joanna Macy spent her life making sure this work would outlive her. Our mission is to help this work reach those who need it most, now.
Carrying these teachings to a generation inheriting a world that asks so much of them is what we’re here to do. The scholarships and open education we offer only matters if the person who needs it knows we exist.
Every Contribution Helps SGT to Fund:
• Sustaining Joanna Macy’s world healing work & legacy after her passing.
• Keeping our community events accessible to all (independant of income).
• Fair, liveables wage for all teaching positions, in person and online.
• Building knowledge and literacy in ecological and social justice repair for today’s challenges.

Help us Reach our Goal this Fall
A generous patron has pledged the first 25,000 toward our goal!
Together we hope to reach our goal of $50,000 goal by the end of the year, so we can expand our planning and open more seats to everyone through scholarships, new courses and resources for our growing community.
Whether it's $5 or $500, or more, your support directly funds the continuation of this School’s mission of world-healing education for all. Thank you.
