Pre-Conference Workshop – Environmental Education

We are at a moment in time when the thriving of all beings on our Planet Mother is in question. What happens when we become aware and engaged as members of living systems? How does that awareness bring deeper meaning to learning within and outside of formal education systems that cultivates a more sustainable life? Through dialogue and reflective experiences, we will collectively explore these and other questions. We will consider what is needed to move us forward as we step into the fullness of who we are in our families, communities, and the world. We will share some examples of our work with people and communities who are exploring the mutually beneficial relationships between Education for Sustainability and contemplative practice, and ask participants to share their wisdom and experience so that we can begin to envision how we might work together to affect meaningful inter- and intra-personal transformation.
