THE 4 BEHAVIORS

INTENTIONALLY LIVE YOUR HUMAN NATURE

Act

Again, watch the natural world around you. From the orientation of being fully STOPPED, nature (and therefore you) constantly receives information. To be SSTOPPED can be understood as a way of ASKING for input, for guidance.
From right here in full STOP, ACTION proceeds in complete integrety with each being’s true nature. 

Full Ecology assumes ACTION.
We observe that, even it full STOP – in full presence – the natural world is in movement.
We too, by waking each day and moving through the world, ACT as part of it.
So do trees, and grizzly bears, mountains and goldfish.

Many of us are acutely aware of immediate needs for action – not just any action, but what the Buddhist traditions call right action.

 How do we humans actively contribute to the wellbeing of ourselves and all our relations – to the natural world?

True to the bedrock wisdom of saints, sages and scientists of all times and traditions – truer still to the natural world in its constancy, we may place all our attention and hearts in devotion to who we really are.

Our True Nature.

Right ACTION cannot be held in any formula or determination of forethought or planning.
Instead it arises from the lifelong way of being – still, dynamic, responsive, ever deepening – like the natural world around us.

Here we are STOPPED, ASKING by receiving information, and honoring the right ACTION that comes forward .

Sustaining the process is a matter of attention. 

STOP

ASK

COVID in the House

COVID in the House

Well. We’ve got it. We who, since mid-March, have essentially cloistered – masked, sanitized, distanced. We even disinfect our keys and doorknobs. How in the world did this virus find us? It did. Our symptoms are quite light. We’ll make it fine. But, like you, we have...

Call & Response

Call & Response

In a functioning ecology, the dialogue between wound and medicine is ongoing; there is a call and response always happening.  Francis Weller Do chickens or the eggs come first? They do.   Am I living or dying? You are.  So, it goes and goes. Call and response. The...

Whiteness in Nature

Whiteness in Nature

We’re in baffling times. Most of us care deeply – really deeply – about justice for all. We’re profoundly compelled by the urgency to stop the systematic oppression of Black lives. Plenty of information floods social and public media advising white people how to be...

Although our Keynotes & Workshops are carefully tailored for the needs of each specific organization, their heart is always geared towards combating the damage done by our separation from nature. Their end goal is always tangible, sustainable change, whether personally, relationally, or organizationally. The EIGHT INSTRUCTIONS—the core principles of Full Ecology—serve as the connective thread interlacing all our workshops, presentations and keynotes. Below are several examples of past keynotes the illustrate the dynamic range of topics and struggles our work addresses.

The tools and insights of Full Ecology aren't only for those who have the wilderness at their fingertips. The 8 INSTRUCTIONS can be practiced and celebrated in cities, offices, suburbs, and homes: anywhere there is intention and desire to reconnect with the natural world. Please enjoy exploring some of our existing work.
