The second edition of “Live Sustainably” took place in Máriahalom, Hungary, from 9th to 17th August 2022.
The training course lasted 8 intense days in which 23 participants from 10 different countries discovered, explored and discussed ways to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
We deep-dived into topics and concepts such as the three divides, the transformative learning model, critical thinking, systems thinking, eco-anxiety, eco-competences, greenwashing…
We experienced forest bathing, becoming animal, deep listening, speaking from the heart, intention-setting, connecting with nature…
We used Deep Ecology, the Work that Reconnects, the Way of Council, the learning tribes, journalling… as ways to guide and aid our shared learning experience.
