Inhabiting our Ecological Selves online community workshops – 27th of April & 24th of May 2022

27 april 2022 @ 20:00 - 28 mei 2022 @ 21:30

In these tumultuous times it is more important than ever to resource ourselves through a feeling of deep belonging to ourselves as ecological selves, understanding the deep entanglement we have with the earth and all living beings in this living organism.

Inhabiting Our Ecological Selves is a monthly online workshop evening with the intention to build a Community of Practice of nature based practitioners over time. The evenings are open to anyone with a curiosity around nature connecting and relating, or around the role of humanity in the world right now. They are especially suited to those active in the areas of human-nature relations, personal human development, conservation and / or environmental awareness.

During each call, there will be the opportunity to share with like minded individuals, and to build towards a community of practice around nature centered activities, all aimed at cultivating healthier nature relations. All are welcome!

During each workshop evening we will explore one of following themes

– The philosophy of Deep Ecology and its real life applications
– Deep Time and our place in the story of Life
– Connecting with our own Ecological Self
– Processes to expand our ecological empathy
– Learning about the importance of ceremony and longer immersions in nature to support the cultivation of our inner worlds

And of course, there will be beautiful poems, stories, sharing circles, buddy conversations, fun embodied practices with the whole group, and most of all the joy of meeting each other amongst friends and spending a great time together while deepening our connection to the above themes!

Facilitators of the evenings – Wild Minds collective


Sophie Vandenkerchove

Sophie is a lover of the Wild – within and without. She has followed training as a Wilderness Rites of passage Guide at the School of Lost Borders in California. She has also practiced Zen meditation in the Korean tradition for several years, and has received several initiations into Druidry and Celtic Shamanism.

Sophie grew up in the forests of the Belgian Ardennes, where she nurtured a strong connection to the land of her ancestors as a kid. After roaming wild places in the cities, she moved back to her village with a strong dedication to offer her life to the well-being and healing of the land. Out of this, Chamai came into existence: a nature-based learning centre in the Belgian Ardennes, where she offers residential workshops and experiential journeys with Nature.

In her work, she always interweaves the power of ceremony with her soulful love for Nature and people. She is passionate about pilgrimages, solo time in Nature, silent retreats and all those experiences that bring together a good balance of adventure, presence and gentleness.

Sophie is also available for one-to-one sessions and guidance on individual connection to nature and guidance through life-changing stages through ceremonial work and solo time in nature.


Jenny O’Hare

Jenny is a nature-loving, experience-it-all human kind of being. She believes most deeply in our absolute belonging to the natural world, and in a beautiful reciprocal relationship between humans and the web of life.

Jenny is a Depth Ecologist and Nature Guide. That journey began in an enchanted and fascinated relationship with nature as a young girl, which led to completing a degree in Earth Science, and a Masters in Ecological Conservation, alongside work with various environmental organisations.

Realising the depth of human-nature connection far beyond the scientific realm, and when a change of continent prompted a new learning of landscapes (both inner and outer) in 2015, she began to explore and offer deeper ways of connecting with the living world. Jenny has pursued training in Nature Resonance, Eco-Therapy, Eco-Psychology, Spiritual Ecology and Solo Nature guiding. Nature and soul have ever been her guide. Her own offerings draw on all of these modalities, but hold simplicity at their core: our presence and participation with the world.

Her work has recently included Seasonal Nature connection toolkits, guided meditation practices, Wheel of the Year ceremonies, Eco-grief circles, and supporting Wilderness Rites of Passage.

Carolin Goethel

 

Carolin is a community weaver, facilitator and life-long learner. She has always been curious about how humans can be in healthy relationships with each other and the earth. Drawing on her anthropological studies, her work in leadership education and her passion for deep ecology, she’s developed a varied toolbox for nourishing a culture of togetherness and inter-being. She currently hosts a mix of learning journeys, nature connection retreats and community building workshops and likes to invite playfulness and embodiment.

The profound experience of her own vision quest sparked her desire to guide others on this journey. She has since then been studying eco-soul centric philosophies and practices with the Animas Valley Institute and nature based practice with EcoDharma. Carolin is inspired by indigenous ways of being and seeks to infuse her work with the values of interconnectedness and reciprocity.

She currently also works on building a local economic system via a community currency in Berlin and is fascinated by the ways in which inner transformational work and systems changing work in the world are entangled.

Carolin is in the process of creating a new home base in the countryside to start stewarding the land and build bridges between the urban and the rural.

 

We look forward to meet you at an evening!

Sophie, Jenny and Carolin
