Abstract

Integral Ecology panel The gravity and complexity of the global ecological crisis calls for integral approaches to ecology. Such approaches are concerned with the transformation of human conceptual, psychological, and cultural patterns that have become an imminent danger to the health of the entire Earth community, as well as with the cultivation of new structures of human experience and action that are more harmoniously aligned with the natural world and the larger cosmic order within which we dwell. Speakers on this panel will explore some of the history and implications of the emergence of more integral ecologies.
