Ecology Series

Celtic Spirituality, Ecology, and Participative Consciousness
Recreating an ancient wisdom tradition of relationship

At this conference we will examine the integration of Paleolithic Consciousness, Celtic Spirituality, Contemporary Spirituality, and Psychology. We will be examining ideas and meditating in ways that lead to experiencing the world as not separate from ourselves--no inside, no outside; all in relationship. We will also be reading a selection of works by Calvin Luther Martin, J. Phillip Newell, and Gregory Bateson.
