Eco-Chaplaincy has two strands: Mediation & Education.
1. Eco-Chaplains offer a mediating presence and act as a bridge between the old and the new, the disengaged and the interconnected, the dualistic and the nondual.
2. Eco-Chaplains offer an educative opportunity within their communities, with a supportive structure that is well resourced, based on fresh academic research, and grounded in divine spiritual wisdom.
3. Eco-Chaplains share both spiritual and ecological knowledge and deep experiences of ways we participate in Earth and Earth’s systems and eco- systems, communicating aesthetic deepening of consciousness.
Note: Training in both the Mediative strand and the Educative strand will be available through online sessions: tutorials, workshops and manuals.
The Educative strand of Eco-Chaplaincy makes a range of Short Courses available within Communities as Community Education, to further evolve the general population’s understanding of the need to elevate consciousness in order to re-engage with Nature, through aligning with and experiencing Nature more directly.
