Course Overview.

Embark on a transformative journey with our 10-week online course designed to deepen your ecological philosophy and enhance your practice through thoughtful reflection.

By reflecting on these themes, you’ll cultivate a richer understanding of how your work can align with and respond to the landscapes and ecosystems in which you live.

A key focus of the course is refining your practice. Through guided journaling, group discussions, and self-led leanring, you’ll uncover how your relationship with the environment informs your actions. This reflective process will enable you to approach your craft or work with greater intentionality, clarity, and purpose.

Weekly lessons will provide opportunities to share insights with peers and explore diverse perspectives. Together, we’ll build a supportive community that fosters a more ecosophy-based approach to our practice.

By the end of this course, you’ll have developed not only a deeper ecological philosophy but also the tools and confidence to integrate it into your daily practices, creating a more meaningful and regenerative relationship with the Land.
