Deep Time - A Contemplative Journey - Online Self Study

Deep Time - A Contemplative Journey - Online Self Study

£59.00Price
In this online contemplative journey, you move into deep time, communing deeply with the Earth and opening to hear her story; from her birth to the present day - a journey of 4.6 billion years. Each week, through combining theory with the poetic imagination (using the framework of Heart Sense), you move through 1.5 billion years of the Earth's story in deep contemplation, travelling Earth's timeline. As you journey with the Earth, and hear her miraculous story, you will expand your heart to contemplate how this deep relating with Earth may transform you; as you come to experience and understand how you are made of Earth's flesh, opening your awareness to hear an ancient heart that beats inside all of life. 
​
Session one: Introduction and Earth's formative years (4.6 billion years - 3 billion years)
Session two: Earth gives birth to life (3 billion years - 1.5 billion years)
Session three: Complex life, death, rebirth and the Anthropocene (1.5 billion years - present day)
Session four: Grounding and reflections
​
This imaginal journey has been inspired by the Deep Time Walk that Dr Stephan Harding used to run regularly at the Schumacher College, UK. As an alumnus of the MSc Holistic Science (a programme that Dr Harding directed), and having directly experienced the transformative learning of the Deep Time Walk, Louise developed this 4-session contemplative journey in consultation with Stephan, and with the approval of the Deep Time Walk Project. 10% of all bookings taken go directly to the Deep Time Walk Project. 
 
Study:
This course is entirely online and self-study. This means that you are able to work through the journey in your own time and at your own pace. This course is also deeply experiential, and can therefore lead to personal transformation of previously held worldviews. Please be aware that due to the deep imaginal/contemplative space that this journey opens up, it is advisable to allow time for the journey perculate and process. Therefore, it is strongly advised to please work through the course in weekly intervals, taking time for the journey to work with you and through you. 
 
Please note that you are responsible for setting your own work schedule, therefore you need to be comfortable with online, self-guided study and be computer literate.
