I would recommend this course to those interested in Earth-centred issues. The course introduced me to many new ideas, perspectives, and strategies, including systems change, alternative economic and legal approaches, and Indigenous Relationist ethos.

Earth-Centre Futures course
This course has renewed my energy and optimism for the future. It is a highly pertinent and inspiring course for anyone who feels distressed about the current climate crisis or disillusioned with the systems that have lead us here. It highlights the brilliant innovation and discussions that are already happening in the world, and provides coherent frameworks for change that not only make sense but feel good too.
What an absolute relief!
