Principles and Practices of Deep Transformation
Laying the groundwork for an ecological civilisation.
This course, based largely on the work of Jeremy Lent’s recent book 'The Web of Meaning', but also drawing on many other diverse sources, lays out principles and practices of deep transformation for the individual, for community, and for society at large.
It offers participants a deep but accessible guided exploration of an alternative life-affirming worldview based on the intersection of modern science and the world’s great wisdom traditions, along with an inspiring and practical vision of pathways that could lead to an ecological civilization.
Dive into your own experience of Deep Transformation:
- Understand the flaws of our dominant worldview
- Explore an alternative, life-affirming worldview of deep interconnectedness
- Learn how modern science validates the great wisdom traditions of earlier cultures
- Discover the exciting and practical pathways that lead to a regenerative future: an Ecological Civilization

Design for Resilience
Supporting individuals and communities through deep adaptation and emergency preparedness.
The world as a whole is living through many crises: climate change, ecosystem degradation, war, social inequality, supply chain disruption and resource depletion, to name just a few. Communities are seeing more wildfires, heatwaves, unusual storms, floods and pandemics. The weight of mass migrations is an extra burden for communities and local systems often already stretching their boundaries. While many governments and NGOs have plans to respond to punctual disasters and disruptions, they often only focus on getting things back to normal as quickly as possible, and lack a longer term plan for resilience, or prevention of recurrence.
In this course, we will use a whole systems approach, incorporating interdisciplinary tools (resilience science and practice, Art of Hosting, Theory of U, Transformational Resilience, Permaculture and the practical tools from disaster management and emergency preparednes). Using the VUCA context tool (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) we will guide you to map your household and community and support you on designing integrated and resilient systems, from inner to physical.
This is a hands-on, very practical and fun course where you will come up with a realistic plan for you, your family and your community.

I found Silvia and Della to both be brilliant facilitators. The space they created felt warm, safe and inspiring. I really appreciated how, in the initial welcome during the first session they spent time welcoming everyone, all backgrounds, cultures, genders, priviledges and also included wherever we were emotionally and psychologically.

In general, I thought the experience was fantastic overall. To be connected with people from all over the planet working on similar projects to heal the earth and humanity was just absolutely wonderful. I have made some long term connections with people that I hope can be continued into the future.

It was a very interesting course and already quite complete as it explored different concepts of resilience, also distinguishing for example between emergency and rather long-term resilience out of our healthy and conscious lifestyle.
