The concept of the ecological Self is central to Ecopsychology. This term originates from the Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess, who argues that through transcending the individual ego we can reach a sense of identification with all other life and systems of life. In the industrial north we are largely brought up in a culture of individualism, which promotes the idea that humans are separate from, and superior to, the rest of nature. As a result of this cultural conditioning it can be hard to know how to participate consciously in the web of life, how to live and work systemically – how to act from an ecological sense of Self.

Through a series of carefully facilitated outdoor experiences and small group work, this course will help participants experience the ecological Self and ask what it really means to “reconnect with nature”.
