Today, I am delighted to share this imperfectly perfect, perfectly imperfect conversation with Katharine Burke, an IB Educator, Author of Earthwards: Transformative Ecological Education, Founder of The Small Earth Institute, M.Ed: Nature, Ecology and Sustainability.

In this episode, we discuss

• Katharine's journey
• The meaning of 'deep ecology'
• The importance of starting where we are
• Katharine's book: Earthwards: Transformational Ecological Education (TREED)
• What is TREED?
• Shifting Mindset
• Developing deeper belonging with young people
• What's the point?
• Talking with rather than TO young peoople
• Supporting at primary and secondary levels
• The 12 main principles shared in the book

Katharine finished by sharing the essay from Bayo Akomolafe about doors and cracks:https://www.bayoakomolafe.net/post/on-doors-and-cracks

This reminded me of Cohen's song that says "There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in,"
