Reflective learning during the Anthropocene* epoch, to gracefully and consciously participate in local-global evolution.
Ecobalance Courses offer a range of courses and coaching (online and in person delivery), for individuals, organisations and companies, that involves reflective learning, world based examples and practical exercises. As we develop our understanding of the complex relationships between: economics, environment, social justice and wellbeing, we are better able to adapt our behaviour, actions and systems. We can apply this learning to personal, organisational and collective contexts, both locally and globally. Therefore we are able to respond with conscious choice during the Anthropocene epoch, to participate in ‘planetary evolution’ in ways that are harmonious with natural systems and therefore, more sustainable and supportive of ecological health and human wellbeing.
Courses can be adapted for your specific requirements, including team building and change actions.
