An Ecotone is a transition zone between ecosystems, the rich, liminal spaces where different environments converge.
This space explores the interconnections, overlaps, and the fluid relations that shape healing, community, spirituality, ecological belonging and transformation.
We meet the Thresholds of Self - the liminal, transformative spaces within our personal experience.
Care as an ever-shifting, relational ecology—one that holds space for complexity, interconnection, and regeneration.
Ecotones of Care are found at the intersections of different Care practices- the many ways of nurturing, healing, and sustaining life.
Where our inner identities merge, where our comfort zone meets the unknown, where the Self meets the Other and bodies coexist in mutual support.
How does Care move across landscapes, bodies, and relationships?
How do different practices (somatic, ecological, medical, communal) meet and influence one another?
What are the actions that can arise from our Caring?
How do we navigate change and interconnection?
What can nature’s thresholds teach us about transformation and reciprocity?
How do we practice Care that is both personal and collective, human and more-than-human?
What symbols, archetypes, and mythologies emerge in the spaces between?
“ Unlike rigidly enforced political borders, the world around us can teach us about the deep medicine of fluidity, as when two ecosystems encounter each other, mingle, and form distinct new communities. Where they intersect is a third space—a transition zone. It is neither here nor there but somewhere in between, with its own particular resonance. This liminal space is called the ecotone. The shift from one kind of ecology to another opens rich possibilities for new kinds of life to evolve.
Ecotones exist across very different scales, from the borders of our digestive system to the shores of ocean and land. They provide environments for exchange and, for the right kinds of species, opportunities for evolutionary transformation”
