The Center for Ecoliteracy is pleased to announce that Joanna Macy will join Fritjof Capra and CEL educators in the upcoming seminar:
Dialogues on Education for Sustainable Living
Sunday, February 4 through Thursday, February 8, 2007
Joanna Macy is an internationally honored eco-philosopher and scholar. Interweaving her scholarship and four decades of activism, Dr. Macy has created a ground-breaking theoretical framework for personal and social change, and a powerful methodology to promote constructive, collaborative, action and free people from the assumptions and attitudes that threaten the continuity of life on Earth.
Fritjof Capra is a cofounder of the Center for Ecoliteracy. In addition to research in physics and systems theory, Dr. Capra has engaged in a systematic examination of the philosophical and social implications of contemporary science for 30 years. He lectures widely to lay and professional audiences in Europe, Asia, and North and South America.
Dialogues on Education for Sustainable Living, at a beautiful retreat center 30 miles north of San Francisco will:
explore the conceptual foundations of education for sustainable living;
feature dialogue among participants and practitioners in an intellectually challenging and emotionally supportive environment;
provide experiences of project-based learning in the natural world and examine regional projects that embody best educational practices;
offer opportunities to apply ideas from the seminar to questions and projects related to participants' own work.
Enrollment is limited, to allow for maximum interaction. Interest in this seminar is high, and priority will be given to those who register and complete payment by November 30th.
