RMEI offers programs that encourage participants to explore their values,
attitudes, and actions through discussion with other people. These
programs are organized around three key principles:
- An earth-centered ethic promoting individual responsibility for the
earth. - The practice of engaged simplicity to enrich life and reduce
personal impact on the earth. - A dedication to living fully in place and protecting the unique
bioregion in which you live.
| "A human being is part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole [of] nature in its beauty." ~ Albert Einstein, 1950 |
