Welcome to ECOmmunity – A Community Circle for Ecological Wisdom and Practice
At the School of Social Impact, we believe that transformative learning is not only intellectual but also relational and ecological. Through our ECOmmunity circle, we invite students to join a living, breathing space where ecological knowledge, emotional resilience, and collective action intersect.
ECOmmunity is more than a study group—it is a circle of engagement, reflection, and integration, grounded in ecological consciousness and driven by the imperative for systemic change. Rooted in the principles of integrated ecological wisdom, ECOmmunity invites students from all disciplines to explore and embody practices that respond to the social, spiritual, and environmental crises of our time.

The Spell of the Sensuous [Study-Action Circle]
Challenging the dominant Western worldview that separates mind from nature, self from world, and humans from the more-than-human Earth, Abram argues that our senses — our touch, sight, smell, hearing — are the bridge back into a reciprocal relationship with the living planet.
