The Challenge to Learn for Sustainable Living
At present the world is experiencing a time of rapid and dramatic changes, changes that challenge us to profoundly alter deep-seated perceptions, behaviours, and social practices and structures. Fundamentally these changes will inspire us to reconsider the approaches to environmental and social change that still widely rely on technological developments, risk assessments, crisis management, cognitive learning and behaviour change. We are now being challenged to broaden and deepen our understanding of sustainable living and social change by making sense of our ecological and economic crises from holistic, depth psychological, and transpersonal perspectives.

The 'Foundation of Sustainable Living' program offered on this educational website is designed to provide students and professionals working in population health, sustainability education, climate change mitigation and adaptation, community development, and organisational change with the important knowledge and skills needed to assist community members in:
  • enhancing emotional and psychosomatic literacy (reflection on self and behaviour)
  • enhancing their healthy embodiment and sense of connectedness
  • acknowledging the importance of healthy foods and drinks
  • enhancing the ability to develop and maintain a coherent sense of self within an emotionally supportive family and wider community
  • dealing with life’s demands and challenges without having to resort to addictive compensatory practices such as ‘retail therapy’ and the use of alcohol, smoking, and illicit drugs
  • leading happy and sustainable lives on a small ecological footprint.
The Foundations of the Sustainable Living Program emhasises an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to learning and change and utilises the knowledge and skills of the clients and course participants.
