We need a deep transformation
Our civilisation is careening at an accelerating pace toward a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological destruction, and gaping inequality. Redirecting humanity’s trajectory will require a fundamental transformation of society encompassing virtually every aspect of the human experience: our values, our goals and our collective behaviour.
The depiction of humans as selfish individuals, the view of nature as a resource to be exploited, and the idea that technology alone can fix our biggest problems, are all profound misconceptions that have collectively led our civilisation down a path to disaster.
We need to transform our core human identity, our relationships with others, and with the nonhuman world.
In this course, you will:
Learn to identify the flaws of our dominant worldview.
Explore an alternative, life-affirming worldview of deep interconnectedness
Learn how modern science validates the great wisdom traditions of earlier cultures
Discover the exciting and practical pathways that lead to a regenerative future: an Ecological Civilization
Identify how your own lifepath and engagement can help amplify the global movement toward Deep Transformation.

Hear what our students had to say!
Thank you for providing the space for me to learn and flourish.
“In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”
These are words that we should think about every step of the way from here onwards.
Thank you so much Jeremy, Silvia, Yan and crew, I can honestly say that this is by far the most enriching space that I have learned in my 50-odd years. It has also been amazing to be a part of this big family of fellow students. I feel closer to you than I do many people that I have known all my life. This space has been refreshingly devoid of Ego. Big love to you all.
I don’t exaggerate if I tell you that this course is life-transforming, as it changes forever how we see ourselves in this world. Thank you also for your humble and so approachable attitude, listening to all of us!
I have a whole new perspective on systems now.
This has been a wonderful, nourishing intellectual and emotional experience. Reading Jeremy's work and participating in this course has been life-changing for me. Thank you for showing me the path, Jeremy and thank you to the Gaia team for making it possible.
Wow... after more than 50 years of doing courses worldwide, online and in person I have never come across a more comprehensive, open-minded, creative, thought-provoking, and totally inspirational course. Thanks first to Jeremy, who is a total genius, able to bring together in a cohesive and understandable whole such diverse concepts; to the Gaia team who are brilliant; and also to the wonderfully diverse, friendly open participants, who have all contributed to making this course so life-changing.
Finally, the truths I have attempted to live by during my entire life, despite opposition from my nearest and dearest, have been verified and endorsed beyond doubt. Aged 75 this is the most reassuring and validating experience I have ever had. I cannot begin to express the depth of my love and appreciation to you all.
This is a Gaia Education programme developed in partnership with Jeremy Lent. Jeremy is the course creator and will be inside and participating/facilitating the live sessions.
