A first-person approach to sustainability (philosophy in action)
Dear all, I have been part of the IDG GPN group for more than one year now, thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself in this new context! - I am a Focusing Trainer based in Rome, Italy, Focusing being a method of personal growth developed by the philosopher Eugene T. Gendlin and often compared to Mindfulness, - I have developed a "transformational learning program" in the ecological crisis called "Miniatures of evolution": as I am prototyping it and I offer it free of charge in exchange for pre- and post- course surveys I would love to see colleagues joining me for the next cohort, presumably starting in November (program in English and Italian is to be found at the link https://naturalmentesocialmentefocusing.blogspot.com/2024/07/miniatures-of-evolution-course.html) - In the web site for the IDG summit online I have uploaded a proposal for a 90 minutes workshop using the "Interactive Focusing Format" to carry on "difficult" conversations on climate change. Those who have access to the web site for the IDG summit can find my proposal in the "Collaborative garden" section using the filter "dyadic storytelling". - I like to walk the talk of sustainability by keeping my carbon footprint very low, and I show what this means for me in the YouTube video coming from my course (first cohort)Β Β https://youtu.be/vXXmMcx74jE. - I am looking forward to listen and to build trust, especially because in writing my personal theory of evolution the first quasi-sentence I introduced is "Evolution = trusting your environment". Warmly, Maria-Emanuela Galanti, also known as "MEG"
