THE FULL ECOLOGY OF GUANAJUATO

Join us for an unforgettable week of learning in the beautiful heart of Mexico.

The captivating city of Guanajuato, founded in 1554, is a place of soft hills, soothing rivers and enduring human society. This early spring retreat offers a rare chance to dip into the Full Ecology of the world we share. In the company of each other and the land itself, we will listen, speak, write, wander, and meditate. We will have opportunity to visit with generous local activists who specialize, among other things, in water, bees and culture.  Taken together, these experiences will guide  us toward unique and vibrant new understandings of human nature. Of humans as nature within nature.
