INTL 1970 - Sustainability and the Sacred

Our current culture is fast-paced, busy and isolating. Yet, there are people, whom we call indigenous, who live in rhythm with nature, who recognize the interconnectedness of all life-the sacred. While the rest of the world invests in new technologies to ensure the sustainability of human existence on the planet, many of the indigenous peoples continue to be living examples pointing to an ancient technology: connection to the Sacred or Divine or Nature or the Great Mystery. During this course we will move from recognizing the complexity of our society into the experiences of the simplicity-this is the voice of sustainability, the voice of the sacred.
