Resonance
Core Beliefs & Practices
Resonance aims to re-enchant the natural world, foster direct spiritual experiences in nature, and promote an ethic of environmental stewardship rooted in seeing nature as sacred and alive.
It draws on elements of Neopaganism, animism, deep ecology, and indigenous spiritualities while remaining open to, celebrating and incorporating scientific understandings of ecology and promoting the responsible and ethical use of technology.
