“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu.  This course will take a gently philosophical approach to the relationship between humanity and nature. Exploring the thought-provoking ideas of Arne Naess and ‘Deep Ecology’, Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Walden’ and the Daoist worldview of harmony with nature, we will consider how these concepts might be applied to modern challenges. Through discussion, contemplative writing and meditative walking, we will seek to foster a deeper connection with the natural world.
