The incredible breadth of wonderful material – the careful curation of videos and readings so that the time I invested was never wasted. I appreciated also so much the way Robert and Geoff facilitated the course, without tension. They handled our reactions – which of course were all over the map! — with grace and respect. I am incredibly grateful to John Sorenson who urged me and our Ghost Ranch retreat group to take this course. It has changed me for the better. So much heart and work went into this course by the developers AND by the facilitators who carry it on. My gratitude is immense.
The Earth is what we all have in common. It is what we are made of and what we live from, and we cannot damage it without damaging those with whom we share it. There is an uncanny resemblance between our behavior toward the earth and our behavior towards people. By some connection we do not recognize, the willingness to exploit one becomes the willingness to exploit the other⦠It is impossible to care for each other more or differently than we care for the earth.
Wendell Berry
