Ecological lifestyle

Educate and inspire your clients !

If professionals would break open the boundaries of their specialisation, and start to educate and inspire their clients, then we would reach a huge number of people. This would accelerate the transition to a more ecological lifestyle.

In order to cope with the pressure of professional community, professionals need to empower themselves and become cultural creatives.

Follow a transformative sustainability course, in which head, heart and hands are iinvolved.

Personal Transformation Process. If ecology is not a part of your identity, then behavioral change will not likely occur.

Transformative learning = being personally touched and shaked to break open the existing comfortzone.

Adding new experiences.

Adopting a new worldview.

Emotions x Connection x Identity = lasting behavioral change.
