(1.) About this email newsletter.
Deep Ecology News comes out every three months, with the aim of keeping people in touch with what's happening with Deep Ecology workshops and related activities in the UK. It also includes information resources relevant to the cultural shift towards sustainability. This is a short newsy email circular, with the idea being that if it is easy to produce then it is more likely to happen regularly and on time.

So what are Deep Ecology workshops?
Deep Ecology is the idea and experience of being part of our world rather than separate and apart from it.
Deep Ecology workshops aim to deepen this feeling of connection with our world, and strengthen our ability to make empowered responses to the current global crisis we’re facing. (If you find yourself asking “What crisis?” then I’d recommend that you read this book - “The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight” by Thom Hartmann. I think this is one of the most important books out at the moment.) So this newsletter aims to keep you informed about any workshops, events or resources in the UK that might help with any of the following

- deepening our sense of connection with our world
- increasing the feeling that we can constructively respond to our world situation
- promoting a cultural shift known as “the Great Turning”, which moves us towards sustainability.

If you know about any workshops, events, projects or resources in the UK that fit with the above, please send me an email with the details. This newsletter comes out in early March, June, September and December, with the copy date being the first day of these months. I’d also be grateful to receive your favourite inspiring quotes, pieces of information and brief book reviews.

If you’d like to know more about Deep Ecology workshops, I've a brief article called "What is Deep Ecology?" viewable at the Green Fuse web site at: http://www.thegreenfuse.org/johnstone.htm.
I can also send you this as an email text file (email me at dreambeat@tantraweb.co.uk)

(2.) Dragon Camp - The Council of All Beings - 12, 13 and 14 September 2003

This three day experiential camp is based on the Deep Ecology 'Council Of All Beings' workshop.
It will be held at a seven-acre permaculture smallholding near Shropshire with lots of wildlife. The cost for the event including food and camping, is expected to be around £35 - £40

The aim of the camp is to strengthen our connection with the more-than-human world and allow nature and animal spirits to dialogue with us. We will use shamanic techniques to deepen the experience and enhance our connection with the more-than-human world and ourselves. The camp is intensive and participants will be expected to be involved in all aspects of the camp; sharing our work and joining every session is essential to the process we will create.

Experienced practitioners will lead the workshop, and we will build a space of safety and growth, but participants are expected to have basic experience in energy work and shamanic techniques.

Dragon is running a London workshop on 23rd August for those who would like to gain this experience.

The camp is limited to 35 people so advance booking is essential. Because of the intensive nature of the camp, we can only accommodate children if we can arrange joint childcare with parents beforehand.

Full details will posted on the Dragon Website: www.dragonnetwork.org <http://www.dragonnetwork.org/>
Alternatively send a stamped self-addressed envelope to:
Dragon Camp, c/o 23b Pepys Road, London SE14 5 SA

(5.) News Flash - Business at the international headquarters of the world's most powerful company ground to a halt on May 27th 2003 as the Greenpeace Global Warming Crimes Unit converged on ExxonMobil's compound in Irving, Texas.

ExxonMobil stands accused of running a 10-year campaign of sabotage against international efforts to solve global warming. The company has used its influence and money to block agreements that would reduce global warming pollution. Recent figures show the company gives millions of dollars to ultra-conservative groups that aggressively lobby against action to protect our climate and direct President Bush's extreme energy policies.

NORTHWEST EARTH INSTITUTE www.nwei.org
NWEI programs encourage participants to explore their values, attitudes, and actions through discussion with other people. These programs are organized around three key principles:
? An earth-centered ethic promoting individual responsibility for the earth.
? The practice of engaged simplicity to enrich life and reduce personal impact on the earth.
? A dedication to living fully in place and protecting the unique ecosystem in which you live.
Founded in 1993 by long-time activists Jeanne and Dick Roy (lawyer), NWEI initially brought a single course, Exploring Deep Ecology, into mainstream workplaces to engage people in earth-centered conversation. Today, NWEI volunteers offer a variety of programs in workplaces at noon, and in homes, centers of faith, neighborhoods, and other places where groups of 8 to 12 can meet.
To underscore the powerful effect of personal change, NWEI took the following mission:
Motivating individuals
? to examine and transform personal values and habits,
? to accept responsibility for the earth, and
? to act on that commitment

NWEI has produced a series of four discussion courses: Exploring Deep Ecology, Voluntary Simplicity, Discovering a Sense of Place, and Choices for Sustainable Living. NWEI also develops a resource guide and a follow-up program for each course.
Nationwide, our courses have been offered by local organizers in more than 260 communities in 46 states. As of March 2001, total enrollment in the discussion courses exceeded 30,000. These courses have been offered in hundreds of businesses and organizations. NWEI’s work has been featured in two PBS documentaries, Affluenza and Escape from Affluenza, as well as a National Public Radio series, Deep Ecology for the 21st Century.

There are many sister organizations set up to spread this idea across the USA. See ‘Network’ on their website.

3) Projects.

Altars of Extinction Project. www.shamanicscience.org
Contact person: Mary Gomes. mary.gomes@sonoma.edu
About the project (from website):
Should the results of scientific research sit mouldering in academic journals? Or can they be used to inspire us to explore our connection with other living (and no longer living) creatures?
"Altars of Extinction" is an artistic and ritual memorial which provides an opportunity to collectively contemplate and grieve the extinction of plant and animal species at human hands. It consists of a series of altars created by various artists, each one honoring an extinct species. The altars are quite different from each other, representing a variety of artistic mediums, such as sculpture, painting, or photography. Some of the altars are large enough for people to enter, forming an enclosed space that reconstructs the species' habitat or otherwise evokes its presence; others are much smaller. Each altar provides an area for people to leave offerings, such as flowers, poems, or candles, and provides written information about the species, describing its habitat, behavior, and, if known, how it went extinct. There are areas for people to sit quietly with their responses to the altars.

5) Key quotes

i) "I am protecting the rain forest" develops to "I am part of the rain forest protecting itself." The thousands of years of imagined separation are over and we begin to recall our true nature. That is, the change is a spiritual one, thinking like a mountain, sometimes referred to as "deep ecology."
(Seed, John. "Anthropocentrism." in Devall & Sessions, Deep Ecology, p. 243)

ii) THE DEEP ECOLOGY PLATFORM: AN ALTERNATIVE
1. All life has value in itself, independent of its usefulness to humans.
2. Richness and diversity contribute to life's well-being and have value in themselves.
3. Humans have no right to reduce this richness and diversity except to satisfy vital needs in a responsible way.
4. The impact of humans in the world is excessive and rapidly getting worse.
5. Human lifestyles and population are key elements of this impact.
6. The diversity of life, including cultures, can flourish only with reduced human impact.
7. Basic ideological, political, economic and technological structures must therefore change.
8. Those who accept the foregoing points have an obligation to participate in implementing the necessary changes and to do so peacefully and democratically.

iii) "The philosophy of Deep Ecology provides an essential antidote to our culture's prevailing human-centred attitudes. There is nothing intrinsic to the philosophy which promotes simplistic prejudice. However, problems arise when it is misused, when it is seen as the complete explanation of everything. When there is a failure to see that Deep Ecology is not enough." John Revington on website www.rainforestinfo.org.au.
