Here we bring together insights from ecology, culture, social, and economic dimensions to envision and design integrated patterns of living that honour our interconnection with all beings and ecosystems.

We dive into the heart of Joanna Macy’s spiral: practicing presence, gratitude, grief, and renewal — allowing ourselves to truly feel our connection to Earth and each other, and to awaken our capacity to act.

“Beginning with gratitude, we open to the many gifts of life and awaken our appreciation for the beauty, abundance, and interwoven relationships that sustain us.”

In this week we honour the grief, sorrow, and anger we carry for the suffering of the world — embracing these feelings not as weakness, but as evidence of our love and compassion for life.

Through deep reflection and shifting perspectives, we cultivate a transformed vision — seeing ourselves and the Earth not as separate, but as one living community, awakening to new possibilities for connection and healing
