Eco-visioning

Future generations will look back at the time we are living in now. The kind of future they look from will be shaped by choices we make in our lifetimes.  Combining the Work that Reconnects and planning tools from other traditions, this workshop offers a supportive structure for co-crafting the future you want to live and sow seeds for those yet to come. 

Take time to acknowledge your learning, challenges and victories in relation to personal and planetary care from the past year.  Reexamine priorities and choices.  Choose the creative direction for going forward with clarity and renewed commitment.  Offer and receive inspiration as you craft your vision within the supportive container of community.

This workshop is designed to facilitate a vision from and for your ecological self.

to see ourselves as one of many parts of a vibrant global ecosystem and to value all of nature inherently rather than merely human benefits. The ecological self is who we are when we see ourselves as interwoven with the rest of life . . . the ecological self is altruistic, with a deep-seated need to care for and protect all life, not just human aims.
