Required Text: Ecological Intelligence: Rediscovering Ourselves in Nature (2005) by Ian McCallum

This discussion group will explore the concept of Ecological Intelligence through Ian McCallum’s book entitled Ecological Intelligence: Rediscovering Ourselves in Nature.

A bestseller in Africa, Ecological Intelligence addresses the interconnectedness of all living things, drawing significantly on the author’s Jungian background. McCallum has stated the intent of the book is “toward a greater awareness of the privilege of what it means to be human…it is a wild and ethical imperative – an urgent reminder that we are inextricably linked to the land; that the history of every living creature is within us; that we are above all a mindful, poetic species and that we are the “keepers of our zoo”. If we cannot accept this then we will continue to be the creatures of our own undoing.” The book reflects on the evolution of life; the development of emotions, language, and consciousness; fields of influence; and a concept of ecological intelligence that is closely linked to a spiritual and poetic approach to our place in the natural order.

Ian McCallum is a Jungian analyst, medical doctor, wilderness guide, and poet – as well as a director of the Wilderness Foundation. He is the author of two anthologies of wilderness poems: Wild Gifts (1999), Untamed (2012) and a novel Thorns to Kilimanjaro (2000).

In this discussion group, we’ll read the book together during each session with no reading assignments.

Jeffrey Pinnette is the facilitator for this discussion group. He is a long-term Jung Center member and currently serves on the Center’s Board as the Program Committee chair. He lives in Topsham.
