Ecological Sustainability

With a unique curriculum these programs explore a variety of worldviews and cultural heritages (eco spirituality, ecofeminism, ecojustice and indigenous practices), to help us understand and address ecological trauma and examine what roles spirituality, philosophy, and environmental factors have in generating and responding to ecological challenges. Ecological sustainability programs provide immersive experiences in Earth healing. These programs invite children, youth and adults to work in mutuality with trees, soil, streams, fauna, flora and animals on almost 300 acres of land, to co-create strategies for humans to safely co-exist on Earth.  Explore how we integrate justice and reverence for the Earth into our spiritual and political practices, in the sustainability of the planet and the self and the right to be free from ecological destruction.
