Council of All Beings

For Chris Website (4).jpg

The great. ground-breaking ecopsychologist Joanna Macy, who developed many useful tools, workshops, rituals, and more to help address the ecological crisis in "The Work That Reconnects", created with others the ritual "Council of All Beings".

​

The ritual breaks us out of our human-centred point of view and develops our sensitivity and care for the more-than-human others around us - plant, animal, river, terrain feature - through humans imaginatively participating in a Council held by all of these non-human Beings.

​

I4C has been hosting these Councils both at the CHANGE Centre as well as in various locations throughout Edmonton.

Since time immemorial, Indigenous Peoples have lived on the lands of present-day central Alberta, the territories today of Treaty 6 and 7 as well as the Métis Homeland. The Institute for Contemplative Ecology respects the histories, languages and cultures of the diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples of Canada; acknowledges their living here and wisdom embodied in their traditions and ceremonies practiced for centuries before the coming of colonialism and settlers; and are inspired by their achievement of living in a sacred ecology over countless generations.
