Ecological Homecoming - an online deep nature connection yearlong journey

Going beyond our human-built homes we find a greater home, that of all of nature and our ecological place within it.
On this yearlong journey you will:

• learn the tried and tested core routines of deep nature connection developed from the 8 Shields map of distilled indigenous wisdom
• befriend your place and all of life around you, creating a deep living relationship with the natural world
• develop a strong felt sense of connection to all of nature, opening a pathway through which you can feel support, receive guidance and ultimately live a fulfilling life with deep trust in your place amongst all of life
• awaken the ‘ecological self’, the deep knowing that you belong and are utterly dependent on  the Earth

...all within a community of like-minded supportive people

THE JOURNEY

Ecological Homecoming will give you the tools to create a deep, living relationship with the natural world.
