Climate — Inside and Out
A multimedia journey to authentic hope. A transformed relationship to a living Earth.
About this Course
Climate — Inside and Out is a filmed series that takes you on an intentional tour through the main concepts of my book, Climate — A New Story, accompanied by all my past and ongoing essays on ecology and earth healing. It portrays the ecological crisis as a consequence of civilization’s defining narratives, which undergird our politics, our policies, our hope and our despair. It describes and seeks to accelerate a change in those narratives that calls us into a new-and-ancient relationship to our home.
This series will be helpful to anyone…
- Who is wary of the reduction of ecological health to a matter of greenhouse gases
- Who senses that both sides in the intensely polarized issue are missing something important
- Who is seeking to identify a spiritual dimension to the ecological crisis
- Who senses that climate change is offering humanity an initiation far beyond finding a different fuel source to power business-as-usual
- Who seeks authentic hope that does not deny the magnitude of the crisis.
This Series Includes:
- A sequence of 26 videos correlated to the chapters of Climate — A New Story
- Downloadable audio version
- Transcripts of the video series
- Book Study Guide with chapter notes and questions correlated to the video
Optional NAAS Subscription
This course has run as a DIY course, and you are welcome to do it that way. However, for many people it is more powerful to work the material with a group. My business partner and former wife Patsy and I host a network community called A New and Ancient Story (short for NAAS). It is an online network dedicated to reverence in communication. If you would like to participate in it in conjunction with this course, go to the community landing page and read the introduction and posting guidelines. If you feel resonant, you can join through additional subscription. Once you are a member, you will find archives of discussions on course forums on the left menu as well as participating in many features NAAS offers
