One on one with nature - bridging the ecological divide, 12 Dec 2009 - Copenhagen

This event is part of the Survival Academy, an academy where we can learn, share knowledge and take action on climate change during the COP15.

Time: December 12, 2009 from 10am to 4pm
Location: Kalvebod Fælled
Street: Ørestaden Metro Stop
Hosted by: Rowan Simonsen and Simone Poutnik

Short description:
What is at the core of the climate crisis we are facing? It seems it is a sense separation and disconnection from nature, thinking we are not part of the larger ecosystem of nature.
We will explore some of the ancient wisdom teachings helping us connect with nature, experience nature first hand and look at how this kind of work can actively influence the way we approach environmental challenges.
Being one on one with nature can help you connect to your own core and strengthen your personal leadership, creativity, intuition and reduce stress. You will get an understanding of the importance of connecting to nature and see the possibilities it creates to take better decisions.

Price: 35€ incl. light lunch

Always evolving

Natural Innovation is a laboratory, consultancy, social enterprise and a interdisciplinary platform for learning and collaboration around the pressing issues of our time and the new human capacities needed to tackle them.

Inspired by nature we are convinced that real innovation only occurs in the creative tension that emerges in the interplay between the different elements of a social ecology. We believe in the creative potential of diverse groups of people coming together to co-create new and wise solutions. Solutions coming from a deeper understanding of the wider context, the world, and our role in it.
