About

Reimagining Human~Nature: Living as One

We are a transdisciplinary team of researchers, facilitators and designers creating connective experiences and offering  transformative programs that explore and deepen understandings of the human~nature relationship.

As a learning organisation, we are committed to continuously exploring the underlying question:

How can we embrace the full spectrum of human experience to improve our relationship with life on earth?

We are therefore exploring the theory and practice of ‘noetic ecology’  as a field for opening up to other (incl. cross-cultural) ways of knowing, understanding and relating with all ‘nature’.

Our approach to education uses direct experience as a gateway for opening inquiry and research toward learning that inspires community-based actions in support of a regenerative future.

We believe that we can best support education and society transformation by:

1. Creating meaningful experiences

2. Inviting rigorous open-minded research

3. Facilitating deep reflective learning and

4. Cultivating connected community action

…that together precipitate a change in individual and collective consciousness by embodying a new relationship with earth.

VISION:

Education that aspires toward creating:

• A united humanity thriving in their experience of connectedness with people and planet.

What is Noetic Ecology?

Ways of knowing
Noetic ecology explores the human-nature relationship through diverse ‘ways of knowing’. It utilises direct experience, dialogic inquiry and deep learning to form dedicated communities of practice envisioning a new story for humankind.
