Course Descriptions

The course will offer ways of navigating the emotional experience of climate change, the varied methods and techniques of facilitating a deeper connection with place, and creating a grounded context for ecoadvocacy. The course will consider what is demanded of a practitioner/guide in holding a capacity for ecogrief and constructively supporting environmental proaction while care-fully managing an encounter with very real environmental change. We will look at ways to manage the tension between despair and holding an integrity of response to a vast and changing system that far exceeds the personal experience. This course will draw upon the wisdom and perspective of a variety of guest presenters who offer a range of approaches from somatic or spiritual nature.
