Discovering how a genuinely holistic perspective affects our thinking with respect to every aspect of environmental concern.
(Non-residential, maximum 18 participants, Cape Town, 15 – 17 August 2011)
In the heart of Cape Town, Craig Holdrege will work with botanists,
environmentalists, environmental educators and activists to achieve a real grasp of
the meaning of ‘holistic’, and what it may imply to work holistically with respect to
nature, the environment or our culture itself. Craig’s grasp of the nature of living
process, of living ways of thinking and seeing, and of the nature of both holism and
the importance of context, yields new possibilities for thinking about ecology and
ecological responses to our current environmental challenges and dilemmas. Craig’s
mastery works across and unites the boundaries of the natural sciences, offering an
interdisciplinary, rigorous and living way of seeing the kingdom of Nature each time
as if for the first time.
Cape Town offers a magnificent variety of possibilities for this process. The
workshop will be held at Kirstenbosch, as well as on various walks on the Cape
Peninsula, where we will be able to observe plants in context.
