OUR PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
We offer ecological lifestyle coaching to find solutions for a healthier, more sustainable environment, life and planet.
Our concern is the mobilisation of the sciences, education and public policy in order to enhance the health and welfare of people and animals, improve their working and living environment and promote equity and enrichment of society.
We do this through:
• Raising awareness of major global issues
• Lobbying
• Fundraising and channeling funds to individuals and non profit organisations that clearly demonstrate a committed
action towards holistic and sustainable future.
• Facilitatiing the social agenda of universal responsibility towards human and planetary, sustainable health and wellbeing.

and sustainable wellbeing at this time of evolutionary change in human presence on the planet.)
• Involving, developing and supporting leading edge projects in global sustainable development and health
• Providing education in the field of ecological and environmental health, food, nutrition, and sustainable health and Ecopsychology

CONSCIOUS LIVING COURSE OVERVIEW
How to create enjoyable, low cost solutions for your life
For many, success is measured not by health and happiness but by financial wealth. But such a worldview overlooks the important things in life: personal contentment, family time, spirituality and the health of the planet and those living on it.
A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy but it can also drain the true joy from life. In recent years, millions have watched their financial dreams disappeared. The international financial collapse, out-of-control health care costs, massive redundancies and burgeoning consumer debt have left many people in dire financial straits. But there is a potential upside to our collective financial downturn: curtailed consumption could lead us to reassess our lives and our values.
We will provide you with a philosophical and prescriptive path from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of success was measured in cash, stocks and luxuries, the new view will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly matters.
1.You will learn your own definition of success based on your deepest beliefs and life experience and how to live frugally, sustainably, without deprivation.
2. The Food Revolution: Creating a healthier future for yourself, your family and our planet.
A handful of companies dominate global food policy and control a large share of the seed and food distribution systems. The West is faced with unprecedented rates of obesity, but millions of people are beginning to realise that chronic illness is not inevitable.
A healthy diet and lifestyle can transform our lives and make a profound impact. We can all take steps that make us less dependent on insurance companies and doctors, and more dependent on our own health-giving choices. You can create healthy habits that help you not just to survive, but to thrive. We will teach you the latest breakthroughs in holistic and natural medical and health science to support your optimal chances for health and wellness.
You will learn the most common nutritional mistakes that vegetarians make, how you can thrive on plants, how farmers' markets and organics are a pivotal part of the solutions for individuals and for communities. How you can extend your life, increase your vibrancy and vitality and create a healthier future for yourself, your children and for our beleaguered planet and all the life it holds. You will also learn what is on the front lines of the food policy struggle and how you can get involved and make a real difference.
3. Loneliness and feelings of disconnection are among the most common realities of the modern human experience. Yet for most of us love is fundamental to our joy and fulfilment.
You will gain:
Specific practices and Insights to help you create a solid and vibrant foundation in your intimate partnerships.
Tools to help you build more authentic and nourishing connections with those in your life.
Understanding as to which emotional protections serve you, and which imprison you.
Inspiration to discover what is possible for you in love and partnership.
4. The power of partnership: reaching across the divide to build trust and restore harmony.
Whatever our skin colour, class or race, whatever the country in which we live, the social and political realities of an increasingly interdependent and resource depleted world are defining realities of our lives. In a world with nuclear weapons, with a resource consumption overshoot that is placing us on a collision course with systemic environmental collapse and with increasing numbers of people living in the state of desperate poverty, our very future cannot be taken for granted.
To create solutions to the vast challenges we face, we must do so not in isolation, but in crossing the divides and building healing relationships. Partnership can be challenging and painful yet it may be one of the most pivotal forces upon which the future of a profoundly divided, yet at the same time increasingly interconnected, world may depend.
You will learn some useful tools to engage in honest and healing conversations that build trust across historic divides and develop resources to help you build relationships and engage in constructive dialogue with people who are different from you. You will hear inspiring stories of courage, resiliency, love and partnership that offer hope for your life and our world and receive support to look at your own boundary-crossing issues, such as race, class, religion or political perspective - and to take steps to cross the divides.
Heart- centred activism: discovering your role in healing our world
We are witness in our times to wars, destruction, plagues and pestilence on an almost Biblical scale. But what we do with calamity is up to us. We can let it shatter our resolve and our sense of possibility or we can use the pain to deepen our commitment to all that is good and life- giving in ourselves and the world. Albert Einstein famously said that we cannot solve problems with the level of thinking that created them - we need to rise to the next level of consciousness. How, then, might we engage with the real world challenges and devastation that are so prevalent in our lives and in the world today, with a heart that is open to grieve, to love and to empower our responses?
What aliveness, fulfilment and joy might we tap into as we find ways to meaningfully engage with the vital work of our times?
And if there are more than seven billion parts to play in the healing of our world - what is yours?
You will gain:
A deep inquiry into the nature of your unique gifts and how they interface with the needs and opportunities in the world.
Gain insight into where you shut down or become antagonistic in ways that are out of alignment with your values - and how you might experiment with other approaches. Hear real stories of heart-centered social change, and be inspired manifest your values in the world. Practical resources and organisations will help you to constructively engage and create change.
Loving what is and being a force for change
Buddhism teaches us to accept the world as it is, recognising that resistance to the truth is a sure recipe for suffering. Inspired activism teaches us to respond to injustice with justice, to meet hatred with love, and to find a strategic and effective response to the violence in our world. Somehow, in the centre of being and doing, of reacting and embracing, there is a dance.
What can it be like to live in that dance?
Together, we will explore our own places of resistance to what is so, our passion for change and the courage it takes to live with a heart that is open both to pain and to possibility.
You will access:
Reflections on some of the profound issues of our times and inspiration to make the best of what you have been given. A powerful and galvanising encouragement to take all your learnings and insights and activate them as you live with ever- deepening passion and purpose.
