CAMDEN, ME. — Eco-philosopher and activist Joanna Macy will speak at the Camden Opera House on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. A scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory, and deep ecology, Macy will talk about “Taking Heart in Tough Times,” focusing on hope and action in a troubled world.

The event is sponsored by the Maine Earth Institute, Audubon Institute at Lesley University, University of Maine Cooperative Extension, and Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center. Admission is $5 and open to the public.

Joanna Macy is a leading voice in movements for peace, justice, and a safe environment. Interweaving her scholarship and four decades of activism, she has created both a ground-breaking theoretical framework for a new paradigm of personal and social change, and a powerful workshop methodology for its application. Opening prior to Macy will be music by Maine performers.

Tickets are available at the door, or in advance at Wild Rufus and Harbor Audio Visual in Camden; Fertile Mind Bookstore in Belfast; and the Second Read Bookstore in Rockland.
