THE ECOLOGY OF SELF - A REVOLUTION //
There is an ecological revolution underway. We are beginning to re-cognise Nature as extended self, realise that everything is sentient and that eventually everything connects. We are part of one whole, indivisible consciousness, and the path to remembering this is through the heart.
This profound realisation is only naturally reflected in our wellness modalities, guiding us to return to a complete approach, where everything is potentially healing (moving towards greater balance and wholeness) or harmful (upholding the illusion of separation, moving away from our natural state).

From Joanna Macy - World as Lover, World as Self;
"It is my experience that the world itself has a role to play in our liberation. Its very pressures, pains, and risks can wake us up -- release us from the bonds of ego and guide us home to our vast, true nature. For some of us, our love of the world is so passionate that we cannot ask it to wait until we are enlightened.. In the first movement, our infancy as a species, we felt no separation from the natural world around us. Trees, rocks, and plants surrounded us with a living presence as intimate and pulsing as our own bodies. In that primal intimacy, which anthropologists call "participation mystique," we were as one with our world as a child in the mother's womb.. Then self-consciousness arose and gave us distance on our world. We needed that distance in order to make decisions and strategies. With the emergence of free-will, the fall out of the Garden of Eden, the second movement began -- the lonely and heroic journey of the ego.. Now it can dawn on us: we are our world knowing itself. We can relinquish our separateness. We can come home again.."
