Embrace of the Earth 2016

Embrace of the Earth: Mind, Consciousness, and Humankind’s Connection with Nature-- In this time of global environmental crisis, we are invited to deeply inquire into ourselves. We are called to understand our connections with all life as well the hidden aspects of our own minds that determine our perceptions, thoughts, and behavior. Research into consciousness from both scientific and humanities perspectives provides clues for moving toward reconnecting ourselves within the natural world. We seek to explore connections between consciousness studies, depth psychology, and ecology. This conference brought together speakers on topics ranging from the roots of human experience in our conscious and unconscious minds, to the exploration of animal minds, the psychology of climate change, and the Earth Wisdom of diverse cultures, as well as dance and music
