“The Great Work now...
is to carry out the transition
from a period of human devastation of the Earth
to a period when humans would be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner.”
Thomas Berry envisioned a time he called the Ecozoic Era, when human beings from cultures
committed to the exploitation and instrumental use of the planet
(in Berry's words, relating to the Earth as a 'collection of objects' rather than a 'communion of subjects')
would learn to be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner.

our Co-Flourishing Projects
Nature and Forest Therapy Guides
Cosmic Person Lucy has added becoming a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide to her skills in healing therapies. There are a few of us cross-pollinating the CoFlourishing & Nature Connection spaces, including Convener Jana Norman. We've formed a collective called Nature & Wellbeing Australia to share the work.
Amongst It! Nature Connection Projects
Members of the Community of the Cosmic Person are involved in several projects about local nature connection as part of the Amongst It! grants program. (The projects are: Forest Bathing Walk with the Cancer Care Centre (Bronwyn, Alex, & Jana); Noticing Nature in Morialta (Alex & Jana); Located! Being Onkaparingan (Debbie & Jana, pictured above).
