THE ECOAWARENESS CENTER

ECOAWARENESS?

“Eco” found in both economy and ecology, means household or family in ancient Greek, the basic unit of organized life.

Awareness includes a clear inner and outer perspective, consciousness and vision.

 

With today's simultaneous ecological and economical crises, organizations have to adapt and evolve faster than ever. They need to be agile, resilient and sustainable in an ever more complex playing field.

Often, sustainability practices focus only on exterior actions but don't recognize the interior changes that are needed in support. Changes in consciousness, vision, ambition and motivation in our selves, our organisations and those of our clients and stakeholders. Changes that foster the inspiration and creativity needed for renewed success. 

This type of change is the focus of the Ecoawareness Center. We help organizations become eco-aware. We help you move forward to integral and sustainable business models that honor profit, people, planet, purpose and spirit. 

Cradle 2 Cradle as it is meant to be 

Right in the beginning of this famous book by McDonough and Braungart there are three almost mystical quotes. 

"The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation"  - Albert Einstein

"Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars. Gaze at the beauty of the earth's greenings. Now think" - Hildegard Von Bingen

 

"What you people call your natural resources our people call our relatives" - Oren Lyons, Onondaga Faithkeeper.

 

What do these texts mean? Why are they there? Why do they come before the body of this practical and inspiring book?

 

Let's explore:

Einstein says that we will need a new and evolved perspective to find solutions that work. We can only develop such a perspective if we suspend judgement and are in awe of the miracle that is life here on our planet Earth. Only then, it's time to think and act, because that's when me move from the core of our being. Oren Lyons reminds us of the deep connection that we have with all of life. We are part of and dependent on the Earth's life-supporting systems.

 

Let the Ecoawareness Center help you

We specialize in teaching and integrating such wisdom, the ensuing inspiration and actions. In that order.

We are at home in wisdom traditions, meditative practices, creativity sessions that will reconnect. Yet, we also understand your need to be successful and accountable. We understand business, environmental science and sustainability practices. And we understand the cultural codes that underlie your people's motivations. We help you with ideas and facts but most of all we help you find your creativity and inspiration toward lasting positive change.

We offer workshops, retreats, brainstorming and problem solving sessions, as well as consulting. We love to hear from you.
