Eden Arising: Ecological Culture Design and the Inner Landscape
 |
| Dave Jacke |
Essentially, the goal of ecological design is to recreate the Garden of Eden—and why not?
In this age of high tech and information, we have the means to create food-producing ecosystems that work like healthy natural systems with minimal maintenance and diverse yields. Yet, tools and techniques are nowhere near enough: we must redesign our whole culture, our resources, our technologies, our social and economic structures, and our inner landscapes. In fact, it appears that we must redesign our deep internal structures to have any chance of succeeding in regenerating Eden.
Who do we think we are? What role should or does our species play in the ecosystems of which we are a part? How can the practice of ecological design teach us how to see, how to act, and how to be in our New Eden?
Dave Jacke will explore these questions with you and discover we can regenerate the Earth, our culture, and ourselves from the inside out.
