We are pleased to bring you news of a workshop/course taking place this coming October, which will appeal to anyone who has an interest in sustainable living:
Wild Nature, Human Nature
Deep sustainability through Ecotherapy
Dates: Monday 6th to Sunday 12th October
Location: Knoydart, Scotland
Facilitators: David Key & Mary-Jayne Rust
Price: £550 – fully residential including boat transfers and VAT
This is a retreat-style course set in a wild, remote and beautiful place. It’s designed for anyone wishing to encourage sustainable living through a deeper level of psychological awareness. The course weaves together theory and personal experience to provide powerful inspiration for home and work.
We have come to believe that we are separate from nature: that we have, somehow, transcended our earthly biology and made ourselves an exception to ecological rules. This ‘separation myth’ has led us to live beyond our habitat’s ability to sustain us and we must deal with it urgently, if we are to survive its consequences.
This courses explores the psychopathology of the modern separation myth and how we might heal it. The quality of wildness, that ‘self-willed’ creative force that runs through the heart of all things, provides a thread that can directly reconnect us back to our ecological selves. We come to remember, beyond the realms of intellectual doubt, that we are of nature. This form of ecological therapy offers a way to re-unite personal and planetary healing.
