"A transformational experience like no other"
Ana MacArthur, New York
Why take this course now?
The ongoing climate crisis is a health crisis. The destruction of forests and water systems bears a direct link to disease, both in terms of viral and bacterial pandemics and the epidemic of mental health.
Institutional, pharmaceutical, clinical and commercial understandings of health are not sufficient to deal with climate crisis. It is time to deepen our spiritual and planetary sense of well-being. Indigenous people hold the key to this change.
