An enquiry practise in development

Ecological enquiry is one of many routes and practises around the world that can bring us an embodied knowing of the relationality, complexity, and interbeing that we are entangled within.

Possible outcomes of practising ecological enquiry include:

╰┈➤ An embodied knowing of ecological-ness beyond an intellectual understanding.
╰┈➤ A direct relationship with relationality, complexity, entanglement, and an animated universe.
╰┈➤ Knowing self, other, and world as ecological.
╰┈➤ Discovering the multitudes in the local, the small, the seemingly uninteresting.
╰┈➤ Gaining new pathways into what is obtuse, stuck, frustrating, complicated, or challenging.
╰┈➤ Honing individual and collective languages and framings for navigating an ecological universe.
╰┈➤ Discovering and challenging worldviews and cosmologies, so creating space for the new and reimagined to arise.

MARCH 2025: CLOSED GROUP RUNNING TILL END OF SEPTEMBER

This action enquiry is bringing together a groups organisational founders, leaders, and stewards so we can apply a shared gaze to the challenges and enquiries and possibilities that we meet when we start to move organisations into being more ecological.

Through combining ecological enquiry with experimental action, we are discovering new pathways forwards for each of us and our associated organisations that we would likely not find alone.

MARCH 2025: SEASON 4 STARTING IN JUNE 2025 BUT CLOSED TO NEW MEMBERS AT THIS TIME

Founded in 2023, Facilitation Pods are time-bound, small-group enquiries into what comes alive in a facilitated space, for participants and for facilitators.

In the pods, we utilse ecological enquiry to 'investigate' individual and collective experiences as faciltators in relation to cultural stories, ancestry, place, histories, systems, family dynamics, and possible futures. We have been carefully evolving the pods into a shared commons and crafting new roles as co-stewards. To support this transition, we've taken ourselves through ceremonies and rituals of letting go and arriving, appreciating and honouring.

Season 3 is full and started Autumn 2024, with 2 new pods running, a Novice Facilitators' Pod and Seasoned Facilitators' Pod.

COMPLETED What could a framing of 'inner rewilding' mean for our experiences of queering bodies, whether through chronic health issues or intense and unexpected health issues?

Started in March 2024, Chronic Health Issues and Inner Rewilding was a time-bound, small-group facilitated enquiry inspired by the article 12 Steps to Inner Rewilding by Thomas Klaffke. UItilising ecological enquiry, we explored becoming closer to our selves and our bodies as ecological beings, rewilding ourselves and our bodies, and what these questions mean for people navigating chronic health issues or intense and unexpected health issues.
