ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors are still seeking to explore what is required to be known, in our heads, hearts and bodies to be eco-informed – the second phase of the Eco-Phase Cycle model. They guide readers to examine this question from a very personal perspective by engaging with indigenous practices, employing our individual senses and identifying and challenging the stories we are deeply immersed within. Topics include engaging with other ways of listening to Earth; experiencing a Deep Time Walk; watching Breaking Boundaries and other films to aid sense making; examining the global inequity that fuels the ecological crisis; and sharing a Council of Beings ritual. Contributions are from Lilith Joanna Flanagan (Building relationships with the more than human world), Roselyne Lécuyer (Facilitating a Deep Time Walk), Rita Symons (Addressing social inequality), Charmaine Roche (Ethical coaching for social change), Kanishka Sikri (Climate and ecological violence), Jojo Mehta (Stop Ecocide International), and Sam Suppiah (Colonialism and colonisation – eco-anxiety).
