Ecophany: ecological epiphany

---

One of Vita Sapien’s core concepts is ecophany, or ecological epiphany. 

Ecophany is an emotional, spiritual, or intellectual awakening to nature, or more importantly, the plight of nature.

Ecophany is a one-way street because once you feel what humans have done to our Living Planet and what the planet is soon to do to us, you can’t unfeel it. 

Ecophany changes your life, you will find yourself reconsidering everything that you previously thought was important, and your behavior will change.

Ecophany is emotionally challenging, but it is a necessary pathway to enlightenment: understanding how things really are.

Listen to some Ecophany Testimonials, and then read more about Fostering Rapid, Mass Ecophany.

The term Fostering Ecophany suggests creating conditions suited to helping people have ecophany. 

To this end, Vita Sapien is developing Awakening Programs that invite people to open their heart to nature.

Mass-Ecophany is the concept of ecophany occurring in tens of millions of people. So, Fostering Mass-Ecophany is ultimately what Vita Sapien is about. 

Given the urgency of our climate and ecological crisis, Fostering Rapid Mass-Ecophany is what we need to do.

But that is not enough. A spiritual enlightenment is like hoisting a spinnaker sail on a boat - it propels you forward. What is also needed is a rudder to set the direction. The direction comes from the environmental sciences and ecological spirituality. And again that is not enough. What is also needed is chart and plan of how to get to a destination. 

So, Vita Sapien’s programs have intertwined elements that include:

· Spiritual enlightenment to nature

· Deeper understand of the Earth System

· A map for the future

· Directives for right action

Vita Sapien’s mission is to drive a powerful spiritual enlightenment to nature in hundreds of millions of people around the world, framed by environmental science and directed towards expedient action to prevent the collapse of the global ecosystem. 

All this is framed by Lifewise Philosophy.
