Ecology 101 offers an interactive online course that combines ecological science with humanities and philosophy, through conversation, creative expression, storytelling, mapping, drawing, reflective practice, and collaborative inquiry.

Rather than memorizing terminology, participants learn by seeing themselves as part of the living systems that sustain life on Earth. Through guided conversations, visual exercises, nature observation, thought experiments, art making, creative prompts, and dialogue learners develop an ecological lens for understanding how organisms, landscapes, and physical processes interact to create the diversity and resilience of life.
