…Then our community and learning pathway training courses are designed with you in mind.

they are designed to transform your whole life experience.

you are about to uncover the vital, yet often over-looked central piece of the ecological puzzle that modern humans are now grappling with.. namely having the faculty to establish depth ecological relationships with the more-than-human world.

these relationships provide the therapeutic and transformational element absolutely imperative to the re-education of our ecological selves. this is now of vital importance in the face of mounting ecological, societal and political tipping points the world over.

We have developed our ecologically therapeutic community and our Learning Pathways programme to bridge the gap between our dominant, dualistic relationship with nature and the reality of the highly-intelligent and inclusive web of nature. the quality of our relationship with nature governs how we relate and connect with the more-than-human world in our personal and working contexts. Importantly, this community and these Learning Pathways equip us with a transformative understanding of our ecological responsibilities and impacts at an individual and collective level of decision-making.

They address the core issue of establishing deep respect for the personhood of nature, so often neglected or omitted in favour of questionable sustainability actions and policy playing out in the real world.  Transforming our relationship with nature is never-the-less vital to the establishing of sustainable, equitable and ethical systems and interventions.

Ecology of being provides a series of unique advanced-level developmental experiences both within our community and at a more enhanced level in our educational programmes. They are designed to open up pathways that build towards accomplishing sequential, ecological milestones.

The core initiatory dynamic in all our work is the use of ecological Art as developmental and initiatory tools. The ecological artworks used in Ecology of Being are the product of the visual artist NallaRuer. They are used to foster intuitive communication and depth attunement within the connective intelligence of nature. In this way they are central vehicles for transformational accomplishment.  They enable the integration of significant psycho-ecological experience and knowledge, opening up the developmental pathway to depth ecological consciousness and ''Rites of Passage''. 

This whole process echoes the maturational processes undertaken by our ancient forebears who held a profound understanding of relationships within nature.  This symmetry provides a sound and resilient foundation in our efforts to become effective and influential Ecological humans.

Ecology of Being Learning Pathways have broad, universal applications and will appeal to individuals working across diverse fields.

our community and Learning Pathways are therefore open to a wide spectrum of people in fields such as environmental work, sustainability, health & wellbeing as well as therapists, teachers, visual artists, performance artists, writers, horticulturists, homeopaths, healers, herbalists, growers, animal workers, investors, entrepreneurs and business owners, employees & volunteers in NGO's and Statutory organisations and policy advisors to name just a few. 

The principal pre-qualification for our community and training is that participants are already on their own ecological journey.  They are best suited to those who are motivated to advance their own ecological consciousness, their relationships within nature and their whole life experience. Therefore they are open to anyone who is willing to take the next step in their ecological journey and take forward their own particular circumstances, responsibilities, opportunities, areas of influence and projects.

The key goal of Ecology of Being is to contribute to the advancement, nurturing and development of ecological Influencers, Teachers and initiators. To help those who influence and teach others to operate more effectively and influentially and to act as Agents of Ecological Change within our wider communities.
