A Quiet Revolution Into Human Wholeness

Our workshops, residential retreats and online courses are about the Great Turning as described by Joanna Macy, guided and inspired by the map of human wholeness developed by Bill Plotkin & Animas Valley.
The Great Turning is a call to support the beauty of life (human and more than human) for the generations to come. It is a turning away from the ideologies and practices currently valued by a patho-adolescent culture that assumes humans at the centre who must conform and consume, without attention to consequences, in order to make progress.
Like a rite of passage into human wholeness, it requires preparation work and courage to peel back the layers of conditioning to uncover something incredibly precious and needed at this time in earth evolution…True Adults !
At the heart of all the education offered we believe that what our communities need most is "True Adults." True adults are demonstrations of moral intelligence, matched with courage, they tend to see and behave according to generational time and have an unshakable understanding that they are a part of the web of life.
The journeys we offer are about re-storying, re wilding, re wiring ourselves so we may speak and act from our true voice, know who we are, know clearly the kind of world we want to live in, and equally know what we do not agree with or support.
The Centre for the Great Turning is a part of a global community that is committed to the shift away from an industrial growth society into a life-sustaining society. This Blessed Unrest is what P Hawken calls ‘the largest social movement in history.’
We achieve this process through self knowledge, wilderness encounters, meditation, rites of passage and the wisdom and wonder of intergenerational communities daring to engage in brave conversations, sharing skills, feelings and knowledge about new structures and systems for species well being
We have developed over decades experiential nature education and empowerment for children, adolescents, young adults and adult moving on the path of eldership.

Refuge
In all the stages of this offering; preparing the ground, planting seeds, chthonic emergence, growth and harvesting…
We take refuge in the true state of affairs; spontaneously ever-present, timeless awareness, radical inclusivity, unfolding in all it's fullness, the vast ungraspable suchness that is this living world/universe.
We recognize, celebrate and cultivate the paths, teachings and encouragements that support our realizing the true state of affairs. Bringing forth generosity, wholesome relating, patience, skilled use of energy, a continuity of caring and enquiry, and wise understanding.
Releasing into a profound sense of being this continuously gestating mystery of communion – this is our home.
Smiling; Breathing; Present; Appreciating; Offering, this school will deepen this confident knowing/experience of refuge
