EARTH HARMONY INNOVATORS
Earth Harmony Innovators works with people to explore ways in which we may experience the abundance of a co-creative relationship with our Earth.
EARTH HARMONY INNOVATORS is a consultancy initiated by Tim Wigley in 1997, which he and his wife, Anne Keating, operate from Hogsback, a village in the Amatola Mountains of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. [NOTE: They have since re-located to Haga Haga, about 60 km northeast of East London and about 10km in from the Indian Ocean].
The primary focus of Earth Harmony Innovators is to facilitate a shift in human consciousness - what Tim calls “Moving from Raider to Co-Creator”.
When we become aware of ourselves as an integral part of nature, it is impossible to see the world as something separate from us, something we can exploit and conquer.
As Co-Creators with Nature we become as the relationship is between the flower and the bee; neither is ever robbed but both are always mutually enriched.
Tim says:
“I am drawn to the values of the Deep Green Ecological movement.
Increasingly my path has led me to work with people seeking to develop livelihoods that are in harmony with nature.
Simply, my focus is moving from raider to co-creator”.
What is DEEP ECOLOGY?
Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess, to contrast with environmentalism for a purely human point of view, coined the term Deep Ecology.
Deep Ecology asks deeper questions – it looks at the symptoms underlying our global ecological crisis. It asks questions about our current First World value systems and our worldview. Our First World value system is obviously the ultimate cause of the environmental crisis.
The basis of Deep Ecology is the belief in the intrinsic value of ALL life, rather than its value only for human use.
How is this concept of DEEP ECOLOGY played out in our work?
Earth Harmony Innovators helps people to recognise the interconnectedness of all living things and encourages communities and individuals to find ways of living productively and cooperatively with nature.
We do this through our PRACTICAL WORKSHOPS and through our RETREATS.
