Watch the September 13, 2017 Introductory Group Session video, hosted by Ann Amberg, MCs:
Practicing Partnership with the Earth
Each of us in our uniqueness has a vital role to play in the evolution of a new human-earth partnership based on care, reciprocity and respect. In this time of radical change, loss and uncertainty, an informed and committed relationship with the earth grounds our action. Nature is the foundation of our economic systems, and nature is available to engage with us in unexpected ways!
Guided by self-designed practices that align with nature?s ancient ways of knowing, we?ll assess where we are on the domination-partnership continuum in the context of earth as family, economy, culture and home. Over the course of five interactive sessions, we will utilize systems-based concepts and experiential practices to explore our ?true nature? ?the human potential of a thriving partnership system that takes nature seriously? and dive into the heart and soul of an emerging human-earth alliance.
In each?2-hour webinar, Ann will introduce a new dimension in the power of partnership, focusing on re-igniting our intimate connection with the natural world and forming the foundations of a living earth partnership.
Drawing from the work of Riane Eisler, climate change scientists and evolutionary philosophers, we?ll deepen our felt sense of ?a resurgent partnership consciousness? within our local ecological community. We’ll?take a deep dive into 10 original, embodied earth partnership practices that will jump-start your connection with your own true nature and with the natural world as a living subject.?We are embedded in an evolving sacred ecology; we can learn to work in synergy with life systems to release outmoded domination systems and nurture our birthright as planetary humans.
“Thank you Ann for your wisdom and inspiring facilitation of this course. This should be taught in every university classroom”. ? Heidi Bruce, Managing Editor, Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies
?Each presentation is so rich and really affirms how I have been since birth and why I am returning to the core of my essence to be in the world from this strength in partnership with all of life.??? Beth Wilson, coach, author, and Partnership Practitioner
