Documentary, Ecosophia: Ecological Wisdom

Ecosophia

Ecosophia—a term first used by French philosopher Félix Guttari and deep ecologist Arne Naess—means ecological wisdom. 

ECOSOPHIA explores the interrelationship between energy, the economy, resources, population, psychology, spirituality, the biosphere, the limits to growth and climate change in an honest appraisal of our civilization and sustainability. A simpler world is coming, and what's needed is as much a spiritual revolution as a physical one.

Featuring Prof Tim Barrett, Stephen Jenkinson, B. Sid Smith, Prof William Rees, Prof Ian Lowe, Morag Gamble, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Prof Stuart Hill, Prof Will Steffen, Prof John Gowdy, Prof William Ophuls, Bobbi Allan, Alnoor Ladha, Whaia Whaea, Mindahi Bastida, Rocky Dawuni, Victor Pires and Randy Hayes.

"Ecosophia is an excellent conversation starter for community groups everywhere. It primes us to ask deep, existential questions about what drives the climate crisis - questions we usually try to avoid. The hour is late, and if we speak, it must not be about trivialities, but about nature, duty, meaning, and purpose."
