Welcome letter: The sound of silence



Welcome to Sky Mountain Institute’s newly revised website.


Enjoy browsing through the site’s offerings, workshops, photo-galleries, and inspirational perspectives on Ecopsychology, Nature-based practice and hands-on EcoArts processes. We wish you all the best in this time of economic shut-down and global uncertainty!

And yet, this is also the time of The Great Pause: A time to slow down, to reconnect with our selves, each other and the natural world. In this fertile pause, we can nourish new ways of being and caring for eachother, revision what is truly important, and dip into our well-spring of creative responses on personal and collective levels. It is a time to creatively break the “sound of silence.” Like a deep spring bubbling up, our indigenous soul seeks to reweave our humanness and communities back into wholeness with ‘All-our-relations’.

“The earth as a bio-spiritual planet must become, for the human, the basic reference in identifying what is real and what is worthwhile” Thomas Berry, The Dream of the Earth.
