The Rainforest Information Centre presents the 3rd Melbourne DEEPENING

By invitation only. All alumni of deep ecology workshops are welcome.

We will share the cost of venue and food for the 2 days - $60

13.8.24 FROM JOHN SEED: I have decided to blend this Deepening with a "traditional" Deep Ecology workshop so that, as well as alumni coming for free, there will also be newcomers to Deep Ecology paying the usual sliding scale fee.

Details:

Vegetarian meals will be provided, gluten-free and vegan options by request after booking.
Accommodation in dorms or your own tent/van

Lately I’ve become dissatisfied with “workshops” as the best vehicle for nourishing our ecological identity and love of Country.

I’ve wanted to get closer to the kind of Earth-honouring ceremonies practiced by all indigenous peoples to regularly slough off our social selves, sink our roots into the living Earth and remember and celebrate the glory of our wild nature.

That is … can we create a culture in Melbourne around the experience of the work that reconnects and deep ecology, which is more aligned with what people have always done throughout time, a culture that is aligned with nature?”

Just like a deep ecology weekend, we will follow the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects (Gratitude, Honouring our Pain for the World, Seeing with New Eyes, Going Forth, Gratitude) with different facilitators for each process.

Please join us September 7-8 to take the next steps in transforming experiential deep ecology into a regular cultural event echoing the ritual ceremonial life of indigenous peoples and our own indigenous ancestors.

For the Earth
