Hello reader, 1st March 2004
I’m thinking of changing the name of this newsletter from “Deep
Ecology News”. I’m wondering about a new title along the lines of
“The Great Turning Times” or “Great Turning News”. Does
this sound a bit grand?
I better explain my reasons.
One of the things anyone reading this email newsletter is likely to share is a high level of concern about the state of our planet. The forests are being rolled back, social divisions are widening, climate is becoming more disturbed, there is a mass extinction of species occurring.... the list could go on and on. Yet in spite of growing evidence of gathering crisis, the dominant response of governments and much of human society is to play down or ignore these problems. How can we respond to this? I find the perspective of Deep Ecology enormously helpful. It is a holistic approach that draws together different parts of myself, that connects me with the planet I’m part of and that addresses some of the deeper psycho-spiritual roots of the current crisis. However, the problem I have with producing a “Deep Ecology” newsletter is that Deep Ecology becomes a label for a position. This is fine if you identify with this position, but it becomes a barrier if you don’t.
I’m wondering if rather than a newsletter labelled by a position, it would be better to identify it with the process it is aiming to promote. There are many people just as concerned about the world as I am, and just as interested in engaging in constructive responses. I wouldn’t want them to feel they can’t make use of this newsletter because they don’t consider themselves to be “deep ecologists”. So what is the common process that we might share? What is this newsletter about? This is where I find the term “The Great Turning” useful.
The story of The Great Turning is an example of a personal power tool called ‘imaginary hindsight’. In this you ask yourself where you’d like to get to, imagine you’ve got there, and then from that imaginary future, look back in time and ask yourself how you did it. (Research on decision making has shown this to be an effective tool). Using this approach on a collective basis, we could imagine a time 400 years from now in a possible future where we made it through, prevented a major ecological collapse and learned to live in harmony with each other and our world. In the history lessons of this future, they might look back on our time as the period when a crucial turning point occurred. From blindly destroying the world around them, the humans of that time began to recognise what they were doing and then proceeded to creatively transform their ways of living, their values, their culture. This massive cultural shift might be referred to as The Great Turning. They would be talking about us, the changes we made in our lives, the kind of things written about in this newsletter.
What I like about this is that it places our lives and our actions in a positive vision. There is a saying that ‘the future is that part of history that we can still change’. The Great Turning is about is recognising that our lives and our actions can contribute to a larger historical process. Will it actually happen? Who knows, but I’d certainly like to cast the vote of my life, my enthusiasm and my action towards this rather than some of the other possible futures we could also be heading for. How does this sound to you? What do you think of the name change? (If you tell me you hate the idea, I might reconsider!) Please let me know. I’ve included more information about the idea of the Great Turning below.
With you in this great adventure

(1.) More about the Great Turning and this email newsletter.
How might such a Great Turning come about? Joanna Macy, in her writings describes
three main strands.
(see http://www.joannamacy.net and click on The Great Turning for more info)
a) There are the protest actions that oppose or aim to block the destruction
of our world and the injustices within it. This is finding our power to say
No to the things we object to.
b) There is also the investment of time, attention and resources in positive
alternatives to the old ways. This can include many of our daily lifestyle decisions
as well as the bigger personal and collective shifts. Eg supporting sustainable
transport and energy systems etc.
c) The last strand involves taking part in a deeper level shift in our assumptions,
thinking, culture and ways of looking at our world. This includes psychological
and spiritual perspectives, such as consciousness shifts and changes in the
way we see our identity. An example of such a shift is in the approach of Deep
Ecology, where people see themselves as part of our world rather than apart
and separate from it. When we feel a connection with our world, it is less easy
to ignore its destruction. Values and priorities shift such that acting for
our world may become central to our feelings of meaning and purpose in life.
For more information on the approach of Deep Ecology see my article at http://www.thegreenfuse.org/johnstone.htm
This email newsletter comes out every three months, with the aim of keeping 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 the cultural shift known as “the Great Turning”, which
moves us 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. 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 (contact Chris at dreambeat@tantraweb.co.uk).
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.

(3) Roundhouse Deconstruction Camp
Easter week April 9th - 17th 2004
At Brithdir Mawr, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales
The picture on the jpg file attached shows Tone Wrench outside the beautiful
roundhouse at the permaculture community living at Brithdir Mawr. To read the
full story about this amazing building, see the website at www.thatroundhouse.info
Constant attempts over the last five years have failed to gain permission for
this roundhouse to remain standing, even though it is built to impeccable sustainable
standards on land owned by the community. Tone writes:
You are therefore invited to participate in a unique event - a week long camp
whose physical focus will be the careful unbuilding of our roundhouse. The work
will mainly involve pulling out of nails and staples, carrying components to
form neat piles, and quite a bit of turfin'. If you don't want to do at least
a bit of this, don't come - wait for the video. The rest of the time will be
spent in camping in circles around fires on this beautiful site, singing, circle
dancing, and some talking to holders of cameras and microphones.
The camp will be free, but we will welcome any donations to cover costs of
this whole operation.
There will be plenty of camping space in a motor-vehicle-free field, and up
to 20 sheltered sleeping spaces indoors. Please bring stuff to eat, cook and
share, and a couple of simple tools like claw hammers if you have any. Don't
wear your best clothes.
Public transport is train to Fishguard or Haverfordwest, then bus to Newport. By car it is 1 mile south of Newport, on the road to Cilgwyn.
This will be a memorable event, and a useful opportunity to see how a simple roundhouse is built, and to test the 'reversibility' of the low-impact cobwood design.
If you will be coming, please let me know in writing to Tony Wrench, Brithdir Mawr, Newport, Pembs. SA42 0QJ, or email (subject: April Camp) to tonywrench@lineone.net. Please include a telephone contact number, so that in the event of a miraculous reprieve, we can let you know. Oh yes, and bring your voice and a drum.
Please copy this and forward it to anyone who might be interested. Thanks.

6.) News Item (shortened), from The Independent 9th January 2004
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/environment/story.jsp?story=479418
'US climate policy bigger threat to world than terrorism'
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
Tony Blair's chief scientist has launched a withering attack on President
George Bush for failing to tackle climate change, which he says is more
serious than terrorism.
Sir David King, the Government's chief scientific adviser, says in an
article in the journal Science that America, the world's greatest
polluter, must take the threat of global warming more seriously.
"In my view, climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing
today, more serious even than the threat of terrorism," Sir David says.
Results of a major study showed yesterday that more than a million species
will become extinct as a result of global warming over the next 50 years.
Sir David says the Bush administration is wrong to dispute the reality of
global warming. The 10 hottest years on record started in 1991 and,
worldwide, average temperatures had risen by 0.6C in the past century.
Sea levels were rising, ice caps were melting and flooding had become more
frequent. The Thames barrier was used about once a year in the 1980s to
protect London but now it was used more than six times a year.
"If we could stabilise the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration at
some realistically achievable and relatively low level, there is still a
good chance of mitigating the worst effects of climate change."
But countries such as Britain could not solve the problem of global
warming in isolation, particularly when the US was by far the biggest
producer of greenhouse gases on the planet. "The United Kingdom is
responsible for only 2 per cent of the world's emissions, the United
States for more than 20 per cent (although it contains only 4 per cent of
the world's population)," Sir David says.
Advisers to President Bush have suggested climate change is a natural
phenomenon and criticised climate researchers for suggesting that rises in
global temperatures are the result of man-made emissions of greenhouse
gases such as carbon dioxide.
But Sir David says the "causal link" between man-made emissions and
global
warming is well-established and scientists cannot explain the general
warming trend over the past century without invoking human-induced
effects.
The Cambridge academic, who was born in South Africa and emigrated to
Britain, implies that the US has a moral obligation to follow the UK's
lead in trying to limit the damage resulting from rising world
temperatures and climate change.
"As a consequence of continued warming, millions more people around the
world may in future be exposed to the risk of hunger, drought, flooding,
and debilitating diseases such as malaria," Sir David says.
President Bush has said more research on global warming is needed before
the US will consider the sort of action needed to comply with the Kyoto
protocol, but Sir David says that by then it could be too late. "Delaying
action for decades, or even just years, is not a serious option. I am
firmly convinced that if we do not begin now, more substantial, more
disruptive, and more expensive change will be needed later on."

(7) Meanwhile, the UK government continues to offer big tax breaks for aviation,
and proposes massive airport expansion in its latest transport white paper.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(8.) Last December’s Deep Ecology news reported on the issue of global
oil supplies running out in the next 30-40 years. The very next day there was
an article in the Guardian by George Monbiot about this too. You can read this
and other articles of his at www.monbiot.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9.) Deep Ecology workshops can help us deeper resources to face all this. Here’s
a message from Layne.
Hi, my name is Layne Gibson. I am a student of Joanna Macy and live with my two children in a community in North Devon. I am currently organising a large number of Deep Ecology events across the UK for the rest of the year, and the majority of these will be in the South West of England. Dates are so far confirmed for three one-day workshops to explore our relationship with ourselves and the ecosystem of which we are a part, to be held at my home, a large stately home near Bideford, N. Devon. These will take place as follows:
Saturday March 27th 10am- 5pm.
Saturday April 10th 10am- 5pm.
Saturday April 24th 10am- 5pm.
The cost for each workshop is £12, with concessions available. Please bring vegetarian food to share. The workshops will provide us all with an opportunity to deepen our connection with mother Earth in beautiful surroundings during this time of new growth and new beginnings. Contact me for more details.
I am also at present finalising arrangements for workshops ranging in length from one to four days in the coming months. These will include a course tailored towards activists to be held in Glastonbury in April and a three-day camp on the edge of Dartmoor amongst many others.
For further details of any of these events or to be added to my mailing list
please contact me by e-mail at laynegibson@hotmail.com or by telephone; home
01271 860 385, mobile 0791 996 1421. You can also write to me at Tapeley House,

(10.) Regenco in Devon are launching an Earth Mystery Initiation School (EMIS)
as a vehicle to open more of their work:
In response to the challenges of this time it is clearly vital that we find healthier relationship to the Earth as well as to each other.
The Earth Mystery Initiation School exists to support this.
Our work draws and touches on many fields, ancient and young, but has been particularly inspired by experience and teachings around earth oriented passage rites. The wisdom of deliberately supporting people at times of transition both to let go of that which no longer serves, and open to the new. Offering experiences which cultivate self-healing, insight, and understanding into our relationship with the greater field of which we are all a part, so that they may bring that to Life. Complimentary to this we will offer a variety of holistic practical skills for supporting health in communication and living closer with the land.
Here are some of the offerings in our programme this year:
WalkAbout - Initiatory style journeys for young adults
A guided journey deeper into Nature, both our own and that of which we are a
part. Includes Walking the Land, low impact camping, initiatory style exercises
and tools for self-discovery, bushcraft and navigation skills for inner and
outer worlds.
Guides are made up from an experienced team including Jeremy Thres (of Regenco & the Earth Mystery Initiation School), Chris Salisbury (of WildWise), Charlie Loram (of Regenco (and Himalayan trek guide)) and Carolyn Howell (of Inspiral 21st Century) with occasional extra support from apprentices of previous Journeys.
Some journeys are just for young men, others are mixed, all take place in beautiful locations in Devon, either on the moor, coast or on the Autumn one, moving between the two. Next year a journey is also being considered for the Lake district.
8-10th April, South Devon with Jeremy Thres, Charlie Loram & Carolyn Howell.
12th-13th April An introductory overnight and half day on Dartmoor with Jeremy Thres &
June 1st-3rd, Dartmoor with Jeremy Thres & Charlie Loram
July 27/28th –Aug 1st Dartmoor with Chris Salisbury & Jeremy Thres
September 18th -21st – this one’s a chance for fully fledged adults Jeremy Thres & Chris Salisbury, Dartmoor

Also on offer is the chance to do a Wilderness Quest for Vision & Self-healing - a Vision Fast/Quest: A powerful initiatory experience with ancient and pancultural roots.
April 17th -20th 24 hour miniquest,
May 7th -12th, Jeremy Thres & Suzannah Uren
July 12th – 18th, Jeremy Thres & Suzannah Uren
Sept 18th –Oct 3rd All Quests have preparation meetings and exercises and time for incorporation so it is important to be in touch sooner rather than later if you feel drawn to doing one. There is a comprehensive handbook (£5 +50p p&p), the Sacred Mountain written by Steven Foster & Meredith Little of the School of Lost Borders and adapted by us for Uk use.
with Jeremy Thres + other guides, Jeremy trained with the School of Lost Borders, and has been supporting this work for ten years.
In May there will also be a training:
Bringing back the bones, Singing them to Life.
A month long training in the Wilderness Quest for Vision and Self-healing, rites of passage, ReSourcing and associated practices. For those with a grounding already around such work. Jeremy Thres with guest input from Charlie Loram, Suzannah Uren & Gaudin Lyne.
Talks/introductions on the above work are available whether it be for young or old. Contact Jeremy 01647 432840
Single days/weekends on offer which may expand according to interest, mainly at Epona, Regenco’s land North East Dartmoor:
Woodland & Low impact Barn Dreaming & gathering Weekend, March 12th-15th
May 1st – Writing the Land, a day with Roselle Angwin at Epona, North Dartmoor followed by a poetry picnic and in the evening a prayer dance.
Mindfulness Mondays, 2nd Monday every month. 10-1 Phone to confirm
Vipashanya & Earth Medicine. A thoroughly experiential integration of mindfulness and Earth Wisdom teachings. This can either be undertaken as an individual or be an experience offered to a group over a day or several days. This is also likely to be a theme of a summer camp in mid August, 11th-14th/15th
Shadow Integration early August (tbc) with Terry Larter – Probably to coincide with a gentle camp on the land. When Carl Jung was asked the question “will we (as a species) come through?” his reply evidently was “if enough people do their inner work.” This remarkable healing tool which Terry shares, feels a significant new tool to supports us in doing that. (JT)
Insect Celebration day 20th July. A day to celebrate the wonders of insects in some way. This year we may organise a trip to visit some glow worm friends.
An Alchemical Journey, Autumn evenings round a fire with Phil de Jong. Phil is a trained homeopath with a holistic approach. tbc

(11) Cyberactivism - please help to stop Iceland whaling by signing a Greenpeace
pledge
saying that you would seriously consider taking a vacation in Iceland,
rather than somewhere else, if the Government of Iceland stop whaling.
Use the following link (or cut & paste it if it doesn't come up as a link):
http://act.greenpeace.org/col/get?i=959&sk=is&la=en&r=112918
Greenpeace's goal is to demonstrate to the Icelandic government how much
whales are worth to them alive. The Iceland tourist industry is on our side
in this battle,
And we need to help them convince the Icelandic government that a return to
commercial whaling would be a costly mistake and a gash in the reputation of
A country that overall has a good environmental record.

The World Bank is stealthily seeking to increase logging by sixty times in
the world's second largest intact rainforests, much of which are found in
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Internal World Bank documents
obtained by the Rainforest Foundation reveal that the bank, together with
the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), intends to
"create a favorable climate for industrial logging" by supporting
the
development of comprehensive new forestry laws in the Congo, as well as
the 'zoning' of the country's entire forest area. More than 100 environment,
development, and human rights groups in the Congo have called on the World
Bank to stop these plans, and Forests.org asks you to do likewise by
