\u201cWe must cherish this planet and the secrets of its deep workings. In the future, the greatest human discovery will be the discovery of our intimate relationship with all the other modes of being that live with us on this planet\u2026Only intimacy can save us from our current imprisonment in a plundering industrial economy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>Thomas Berry \/ The Great Work<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This year's seminar of the Traveling University of Nature is being held in the landscape of the Ore Mountains, whose face and recent human history reflect the characteristic existential alienation of modern man from the place in which he was born. The first major displacement of the original German population took place here after World War II. In the second half of the 20th century, the purely instrumental "development" of the chemical and mining industry caused extensive ecological devastation of the Ore Mountains forests and, above all, the Podkru\u0161noho\u0159\u00ed landscape and led to the displacement of the population from more than a hundred municipalities. In this environment, we want to think more deeply about how we could today individually and, above all, collectively renew our identity with the place and with the planet on which we live. How to move from dependence on the extractive economy, which determined the character of the modern era and was driven by the desire to use the world at all costs, to a more intimate and caring relationship with the world, which would be mutually beneficial for both us and the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar will explore how the cosmology of the "new story" of the American cultural historian, cosmologist, and Earth advocate can inspire us to make this shift. Thomas Berry <\/strong>(1914-2009); Berry's ideas about the renewal of human-earthly relationships are introduced to us primarily by his student and collaborator Gai Vorcelo<\/strong>, head of Green Mountain Monastery in Greensboro (Berry's book Great work \u2013 our journey into the future<\/em> published by Malvern Publishing House). We will also be inspired by the wisdom and native life practices of indigenous cultures, the concept of panpsychism by the Australian philosopher Freya Mathews <\/strong>or a comprehensive program active hope<\/em> Joanna Macy and Chris Jonstone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will also learn about some local efforts to re-integrate the life of human communities into the broader context of bioregions and ecosystems, how to understand the specific place we live in and how to be beneficial to it. In short, how to become earthlings again and find our home. The mayor of Horn\u00ed Ji\u0159et\u00edn, Ing. Vladim\u00edr Bu\u0159t, will introduce us to the successful defense of his city against the coal industry's efforts to demolish it; we will recall the activities of environmental associations that led to the emergence of the climate movement We are the limits<\/em> (Jan Pi\u0148os); Petr Mik\u0161\u00ed\u010dek's project of rediscovering the Ore Mountains; practice listening to the landscape<\/em> Lud\u011bk \u010cert\u00edk; practice edging <\/em>Monika Michaelov\u00e1, inspired by the Kogi Indians; project landscape treatments<\/em> landscape architect Kl\u00e1ra Salzmann; Zdo\u0148ov project<\/em> Ji\u0159\u00ed Mal\u00edk and the \u017div\u00e1 voda association; the activities of the Soil Foundation or the subversive activities of the International Shepherds Confederation. The seminar will also include ritual dance (Milada Chalupov\u00e1), poetry (Lud\u011bk \u010cert\u00edk, Radek \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1nek) and daily wanderings in the surrounding countryside: to Horn\u00ed Blatn\u00e1, to Tisovsk\u00fd vrch and the Pajndl lookout tower, to Dra\u010d\u00ed sk\u00e1la and to the town of Pernink, to Nejdek and K\u0159\u00ed\u017eov\u00fd vrch. After the seminar, we will set off on a several-day journey across the Ore Mountains (Kru\u0161nohorsk\u00fd kw\u00e9runk), which will take us all the way to the Lusatian Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe integral survival of the Earth in the future can only be ensured by restoring the biological integrity of the planet within its various bioregions. Our primary concern must be to restore the organic economy of the entire planet. This means supporting the full range of Earth\u2019s life systems, we need them all.\u201d<\/p>Thomas Berry \/ The Great Work<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
