• How are ecology and community related?
• What role can and should ecological communities play?
• How should we conceive the dynamics of identity and transformation in the move toward ecological civilization?
• How can process-relational thought contribute to understanding, and building, ecological community?

The conference is organized into two distinct parts, ECI Talks, and The Woodshed.

ECI Talks are bold presentations that seek to change the world in just 15 minutes! Exploring big ideas at the intersection of theory and practice, ECI Talks focus on radical changes in thought, action, and attitude, necessary to bring about a sustainable and just society—an ecological civilization.

The Woodshed is a place for serious consideration of an ECI Talk. A time for honest exploration, critique, and proposals for applying the bold ideas presented and radical changes proposed. All conference participants are encouraged to share their own experiences and insights, with the goal of formulating concrete ideas for bringing about real change.

Online participation for this conference will be available via Zoom. If you select the “Online Participation” option, an email with access instructions will be sent to you on the day of the conference. Please be sure to include you email address on the payment form. Without your email, we cannot send you the conference link. Zoom is fully interactive, so all online participants will be able to listen/watch onsite presenters as well as ask questions of their own.

This event is co-sponsored by ECI and the Center for Process Studies.
