& LEADERSHIP

Re-writing our story of inter-connectedness with nature

We all can agree that society and our industries need to re-assess our relationships with the natural world, and how we live on this planet. The age of compulsive consumption has now passed, and a new dawn of consciousness, alertness and accountability is emerging. Its time to integrate the human spirit back into our systems, systems that place environmental and societal well-being as priorities.

The fundamental value of nature

Perhaps the most fundamental aspiration of all people is to discover as sense of belonging, or stillness in life. Some refer to this as the present moment. Regardless of what it is called, it is of universal dialect and unites us as human beings. Nature is a redemptive space of welcome and interconnectedness.

It is about a deeper consciousness

And a realisation that our own sense of well-being depends entirely on our repaired relationships with our natural world. An awareness of our impact on the natural world is essential in all ways; everything we do must have the environment in mind.

Circular purpose

Human beings are not immune to the fundamental laws of ecology, which are the standard operating principle of everything. The mere fact that we are alive and conscious means that we have impact on our environment. The consequences of this impact however, are of our choice. This is the great circular purpose in life … to be alert to the amount of energy we consume, versus the amount of energy we return to the system. The system that sustains our existance.

Aligning with living principles and patterns

Nature disrupts our lives. Slows and turns our sight inwards, celebrating what we see there. It creates space to understand what we SHOULD be doing versus what we ARE doing. Our industries that are all based on unsustainable consumption place us on a head-on collision with nature and these laws. A confrontation from which we cannot prevail. How do we begin to change systems and habits, embedded as they are? There is surely no intelligent human being on the planet who can now deny that we need to align ourselves with living principles and patterns in order to facilitate a great transformation.

How do we go about this?

Through impactful encounters of personal transition and ecological connection. Exploring the interbeing between ourselves and the natural world … and our fundamental co-dependance. These are the keystones on which to build new systems that change our deeply flawed rules of engagement with the planet, with those of circular purpose.
