Deep ecology proposes that underlying all of the symptoms of the environmental crisis is the illusion of separation between humans and the rest of the natural world.
Arne Naess, professor of philosophy at Oslo University who coined the term “deep ecology”, called for “community therapies” to move us from merely ecological ideas to “ecological identity".
The experiential deep ecology processes created by Joanna, Macy, John Seed and others are such community therapies, synchronous with the ceremonies and rituals used by all indigenous societies to honour “all our relations” and allow us to experience a profound felt sense of connection to the living Earth.
The work is based on the principle that we will not solve the systemic environmental crises of our time unless we heal ourselves from the myth of separation from nature and reconnect at a visceral level to the web of life.
In 2024 we are continuing to direct proceeds from Deep Ecology and Work that Reconnects workshops towards campaigns and forest frontlines in Ecuador, New South Wales and Tasmania.
