Earth and the Sacred: The Personal and the Planetary

EARTH AND THE SACRED: THE PERSONAL AND THE PLANETARY
Rupert Sheldrake, Alastair McIntosh, Verene Nicolas & Marianne Williamson
July 1-20, 2007

Much of today’s environmental thinking is based upon a predominantly scientific analysis of complex planetary problems. This course will explore the sacred, religious and spiritual dimensions of environmentalism to develop a vision where the care of the earth plays a central role.

Week 1: Religion and Ecology Rupert Sheldrake, who is himself a controversial scientist, will present his perspective on the relationship between religion and ecology.
Week 2: Ecopsychology and Ecopolitics Alastair Mcintosh and Verene Nicolas will explore the relationship between ecopsychology and ecopolitics which can lead to a more holistic world view.
Week 3: Personal/Planetary Transformation Marianne Williamson will work with course participants to develop a vision in which personal transformation and planetary sustainability go hand in hand.

Course Fees: One week £700.00 Two weeks £1,200 Three weeks £1,500
