  • Re-Imagining Gaia

    6th May 2017

    Gaia is the philosophy of a Living Earth.

    We will explore a Gaian Worldview through Mindfulness and Well Being

    Gaian thinking encompasses many proponents throughout history, including most recently the physicist James Lovelock also Buddhist and Deep Ecolologist, Joanna Macy.

    Applying meditation and mindfulness techniques to explore Well Being we will re-place ourselves in nature.

    This is an experiential workshop where we will slow down while guided through a story of practical exercises to heighten our presence in the natural world.

    This course is intended to complement other sustainability courses covering social, economic and environmental dimensions by exploring them through a Gaian Worldview.

    Steve is a practitioner in both Meditation and Mindfulness for over ten years.

    Having worked for years at many levels in government and non governmental organisations Steve is keenly aware of the challenges required to rethink for a sustainable future.
