The Institute for Cultural Change seeks to promote individual, ecological, & cultural evolution through the educational models that foster curiosity, imagination, personal reflection, and cross-cultural dialogue.
Their aim is to create and connect an impassioned global community committed to altering how we humans might relate to our self, each other and the natural world less destructively, and to work toward augmenting conscious change in a challenging world.
The Center for Ecopsychology
Ecopsychology is a budding discipline that recognizes the complex interconnection, interaction, and interdependence among living and non-living nature. This of course includes humans, as we too are nature. It is a cross-pollination among the sciences and humanities that provides a critical and necessary understanding that the well being, the flourishing of the planet and that of the human and non human world must include sustainable and mutually enhancing relationships.
