ABSTRACT

Missing from most environmental movements is a recognition of the intra-psychic world, the personal and collective shadow that distorts human relationships and our connection with nature. A spiritual ecology attuned to the intra-psychic world begins with a phenomenology of the Self, addressing inequalities at all levels beginning with the “little people” in our dreams and extending to the tremendous imbalance in the human relationship with the natural world. The coming age will require working together as a species to address pathologies in the environment and extend the sense of the interconnectedness of everything with our human systems and interactions.
