Introducing Ecology of Being...
-Do you find yourself searching for a community - a safe space that shares your values of authenticity, respect, reciprocity & kinship with each other and the more-than-human community?
-Are you an ecologically aware person who recognises the absolute need to prioritize how we, as modern humans, personally relate to nature and the more-than-human world?
-are you ready to put frameworks in place to facilitate and enhance those relationships?

…if you answered yes to the above - Ecology of being is that specific community and this is your chance to accomplish your own ecological transformation, to reconnect with our Earthland and to contribute to the restoration of our ecological selves within the wider, connective psyche of nature.

INITIATORY ARTWORKS..
INITIATORY ARTWORKS..
Initiatory artworks are central tools in the educational and developmental purpose of all our endeavours. We see the whole of our work as an act of taking responsibility to heed ''the call to depth ecological consciousness'' reverberating throughout the human and more-than-human world. We offer educational and developmental opportunities that fulfill the transformational psycho-ecological imperative demanded of humans today. The central focus of our work is a depth understanding of the ''sacred personhood'' of our Earthland and the re-establishment of intimate personal relationships with the more-than-human persons of the world.

These relationships are understood as the essential means for establishing a depth experience and understanding of ''reverence'' for the entire Earthland, including ourselves. It is the grounding of this understanding and experience in consciousness that opens the pathways to knowing nature as sacred including knowing ourselves as sacred within this context. It is only then that we can operate from within the greater psyche of nature and only then that we can begin to make the informed decisions that will repair and restore our ecological selves and our Earthland.

Ecology of Being has its beginnings in the critical ecological artworks of visual artist NallaRuer. These artworks are a depth exploration of our original ''connective'' relationships within nature and provide the foundations for the platform and project that is Ecology of Being. They express the expansive ecological story and accumulated wisdom of the Earthland, providing entry points into our lost connections and journeys within the connective web of nature. These works re-introduce us to our ancient responsibilities within nature and radically challenge the collective and culturally developed dualism of us ''modern'' humans towards our Earthland. These artworks stand outside the paradigm of modern and contemporary art and instead bear a closer relationship to ancient ancestral art with their Initiatory and maturational developmental purposes. The dissemination and transmission responsibilities inherent in the work of NallaRuer extend to the design and delivery of programmes of ecological re-education, Ecology of Being is the vehicle for the public delivery of this endeavour.

The artworks of NallaRuer and the developmental opportunities of Ecology of Being are a dynamic and far-reaching contribution towards establishing the major evolutionary change in the ''modern'' human relationship with our Earthland that is underway right now in our time. As we stand in this moment in history and view the continuing widespread destruction of nature and the widespread extreme suffering of so many human and more-than-human persons, it is of the utmost imperative that we attempt to take our own ecological responsibility no matter how daunting and overwhelming that appears to be. Re-establishing depth psycho-ecological consciousness as the modus operandi in human development is the most vital and pressing responsibility in modern human history. Becoming a heathy ecologically intelligent person is the first step.

NallaRuer is a co-founder of Ecology of Being alongside Outdoor Experiential Guide, Katrine Henderson, they both take lead roles in the design and delivery of the whole project. They have background experience in educational, sociological, ecological and psychological arenas. The fusion of these experiences informs the therapeutic, developmental and educational dynamic of their art practice and their initiatory teaching roles.

To accomplish this they believe modern humans must undertake a radical process of psycho-ecological change, To meet the demands of this process of change they have identified 6 significant areas of development:
Rebalancing our divisive dualistic modern human psyche and its us and them relationship with other nature.

We see the integration of these specific areas of development as forming the foundational bedrock for a new relationship with our Earthland and a new way of living. This is our binding contract for the entire outreach of this work. Ecology of Being offers a unique opportunity to accomplish a depth psycho-ecological development that prepares and supports participants to advance their own personal development, projects, responsibilities and areas of influence. The major psycho-ecological change we must undertake as a species can only be made a reality by the small interconnective actions of the many, this is the paradigm for sound ecological transformation for the future. Accomplishing a profound understanding of the sacredness of all nature is the foundational ''change agent''. We look forward to welcoming anyone interested in furthering their own ecological journey by joining our Community and Learning Pathways programmes.
