Becoming Ecological
Developing an ecological sensibility in organisations, education, & the wider helping professions

Becoming an Ecological Practitioner
On this page you will find information about innovative new programmes, building on broad ecological philosophy and incorporating contemporary ecological thinking and approaches to practice.
This is work that is urgently needed if our human relationship with the earth is to radically change. The courses here are designed to support the development of an ecological mind (Marshall 2020), whereby human relations practices affect an ontological stretch into an ecocentric frame.
You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.
You are not a stranger here.'

Becoming Ecological
A five module course offering a unique ecological methodology
Sept/Dec/March/June & July
2026 - 27
Mill House Farm Suffolk
Facilitated by Hayley Marshall and Giles Barrow
We are delighted to announce our new Becoming Ecological programme for anyone interested in developing a personal or professional ecological practice. Having spent the last five years in an intense development phase we are now inviting a group of participants to join us in learning our unique ecological methodology. Designed to address the crucial western question - how might we return to our truest ecological being in the world, living our biological reality, embedded in the living systems of the earth? – the programme will offer a profound and nuanced approach rooted in the contemporary western world.
Becoming Ecological Online Reading Group 2027
Becoming Ecological is an approach to being in relationship with the world, designed with the earth in mind, for both personal and professional practice.
We know it can be challenging to access in-person professional development for many outdoor practitioners. Our own programmes are now held live in Suffolk, UK. However, this coming summer we are opening a different kind of opportunity to learn together. We are offering six sessions, one per month, each of which will be based on our existing and emerging writings, as well as other material from the ecological field.
Sessions will include introductory presentations of core articles, facilitated group discussion and break-out opportunities for reflective exercises. Participants will receive links to materials for reading beforehand and access to recordings of each session.
15th April - 27th May - 17th June
Times: 6:30pm - 8:30pm (UK)
