The Cycle
Your four phase program for personal transformation in honour of planetary healing
Grounded in buddhist psychology and spiritual ecology, each phase of The Cycle is interactive and experiential. Designed to guide you back to your authentic, wildly loving self, this program is a capacity development approach to personal and planetary transformation. Enrol today and activate your spiritual journey in a service of the collective
Phase 1: Going Within
Embark on a journey within to rediscover the Ecology of your Heart, your source of insight, authenticity and truth
With nascent and ancient psychological tools, you will learn how to access your heart’s wisdom. This is the work that reconnects, creating space for you to attune to the still small voice within and autonomously discover the true nature of your being
•••
​
Embracing mindfulness meditation as nature therapy, we explore the landscape of our being and reconnect with source within. Engaging local Indigenous wisdom, Buddhist philosophy and psychology through an 'ecological' or relational lens, we outline the important role holistic practices play in the wellbeing of both person and place
​​
As radical psychological activism, we shift consciousness from the ego into the ecos, into relational awareness an radial self realization. Expand your sense of self from the individual into the collective by widening your circles of relationships and deepening your awareness
Reconnect with source by Going Within
Phase 2: Going Out
We reconnect with source so we can remember our true, unified Self as Land and Spirit
Taking the information received from your meditative practice or the Going Within phase, we put insights into relationship with the world to discover our own, autonomously emergent truths
•••
With contemplative practices, we will create space for you to remember your place in the loving web of life and reach insights at the level of identity formation. We practice love as a way of being to re-member with Earth as kin. From here, a land-based value system can sprout
​
Go out into the world and remember love as your authentic way of being
​Phase 3: Unification
​​
As we remember our true loving nature and reconnect with our authentic Self as Land, we reclaim sovereignty over the landscape of our being
This course unifies knowledge received from meditative and contemplative practices (the first two phases), and integrates understandings into a new way of being in relationship with yourself and the world
•••
The unification phase is key to embodying shifts in your perspectives, understandings and ways of being in relationship. As consciousness expands, behavioural patterns shift, personal transformations take shape and changes ripple out into the world
Reclaim sovereignty over the landscape of your being and step into your transformative potential
Phase 4: Emotional Permaculture
As we tend to the landscape of our being, germinate our consciousness and fertilize our soul, the ecology of our heart blooms as a gift to the collective
Coming full circle, we recognize that to evoke the transformations we wish to see in the world, we start with ourselves
•••
Emotional Permaculture is the act of stewardship over the landscape of your being. With inner ecological observation, the application of principles of permaculture supports aligned action. With Emotional Permaculture, we tend to ourselves as Land, nourishing that which makes us glow, holding space for all that is, and engaging the value of balance for harmony. With ancestral practices of soul care, we create new pathways, tend gently to the thorny emotions, and recognize that each system of our being shows up with divine purpose, in service to the larger whole that is You. Here is where we re-wild through the Ecology of our Hearts
Emotional Permaculture is where we do inner work for outer transformations
