5 day Deep Ecology & The Work That Reconnects course

Event Overview

This 5 day course ‘Deep Ecology & The Work that Reconnects’ is a course where participants are guided through deep learning processes based on the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects (WTR) by Joanna Macy, that helps to gain insights into Deep Ecology philosophy. The Deep Ecology learning process will help participants to reconnect with nature as the whole and start questioning and finding insights about who we are and our place in it. This course helps participants be highly motivated to be part of the earth restoration story in their own unique way.

The common space for indoor sessions during the course will be held in our naturally built sala, which is built with adobe mudbricks and reclaimed wood and which is the beating heart of our ecovillage. Practical sessions will be happening in nature that surrounds us.

Included in the fee is accommodation in our dormitory, 3 vegetarian/vegan meals per day, tea breaks, as well as yoga and meditation. We also have private accommodation available that can be booked for an additional fee (see registration form).
