Of the 150 participants who were polled, the self-assessment of their collapse awareness evidenced substantial growth. Initially rated at 6.5 out of 10 at the start of the course, this awareness surged to an impressive 8.8 out of 10 after completing the course. Furthermore, participants’ levels of acceptance regarding collapse also showed significant improvement, with pre-course ratings at 5.1, which notably increased to 8.0 post-course.
In wildness is the preservation of the world… Life consists of wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him… When I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and most interminable and, to the citizen, most dismal swamp. I enter as a sacred place, a ‘sanctum sanctorum’. There is the strength, the marrow, of Nature. In short, all good things are wild and free.
Henry David Thoreau
