Andreas Weber: Ecology of Love

Andreas Weber will be back in Norway 8-10 September! I can’t recommend this enough: Andreas is the author of Biology of Wonder, Matter and Desire, Enlivenment, and more. His retreats and seminars are magical. https://www.facebook.com/events/1030338385001533/?active_tab=about

In this three day workshop, Dr. Andreas Weber, marine biologist, biophilosopher, and author will lead participants into a world of mutual belonging, unraveling separatist myths and reweaving the beauty of biology back into the fabric of ecological wisdom.

Ecosystems are love stories
Being an organism means to be in relation, to be emotionally involved, and to feel. Our life is an existence of passion from the first breath, from the level of the single cell on. Because ecosystems love processes, they teach us how we can live in wholesome relations. When we discover ecology as the vibrant love story it is, we can unlearn violent habits and re-become beings gifting life.

A New Perception of a Living Cosmos
Supported by his rigorous scientific background as well as training in philosophy, Dr. Weber integrates science and environmental philosophy so that we can perceive the world anew through an ‘ecology of love’, an ecology which understands systems of living relationships as bearing both the practical and the spiritual principles of a living cosmos.
