| Courses in Sacred Ecology | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Daughters of the Greening offers three courses in Sacred Ecology. Gaia Speaks is a 14 month course diviided into four levels. The Journey Home is a four week introductory course and Eco-Shamanic Awareness is a five week introductory course. What is Sacred Ecology? It is the study of nature and the world around us from a spiritual perspective. When we see the Earth as a living being, and we understand that this world that we see with our eyes is not the only reality, then we are on the path of Sacred Ecology. When we see all living things as sacred and realize that we are neither above nor beneath any other living being, we are on the path of Sacred Ecology. When we view the Earth as our Mother and treat Her with respect and conscientiousness, we are on the path of Sacred Ecology. To enroll in either of these courses, fill out an application HERE, arrange payment either through paypal or by contacting Morgana or Wren, and purchase your texts for the course HERE.

| Eco-Shamanic Awareness
This is a five week course taught by Wren which introduces students to becoming more aware of their natural surroundings. It is called Eco-Shamanic Awareness because more than just becoming visually aware of the quiet lives around us, through doing a few simple exercises taught in this class we can become aware of our connection to nature on a spiritual level. The spirits of Earth and Her children are always with us, and this introductory course will help students become aware of not only their presence but tune into the great gifts a relationship with them has to offer. Cost of this course is $20. |
