Hello everyone,
What a treat it was to see so many of you in person or online at Symposium 2022! It was such an energising way to kick off the year. Thank you for being there for all the weird and wonderful moments of trying to gather in this time. If you haven’t seen the video from day 5 yet, it is a stunning reminder of purpose.
The team is gently emerging from much-needed downtime post-Symposium and there are two things I'm really looking forward to in 2022.
First is the Oceania Biophilia Summit (OBS), which comes back to Australia this year and will be offered as a retreat. Secondly, the very successful LFA + Regional Intensive starts in July and I’m so proud that LFIA is offering 3 scholarships.
Finally, one of the best things you can do in the next month to create a better future is making the most of your right to vote. Find out which candidates align with your views.

Three Scholarships for LFA + Regional 2022
In line with our vision of a socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative future, we are offering three scholarships for the course this year. If cost is a barrier for you, but you’re still super keen to do the Living Future Accreditation + Regional Intensive course apply for a scholarship by the 3rd of May here.

Expressions of Interest Open
For a truly biophilic experience, we are hosting the Oceania Biophilia Summit (OBS) as a retreat in the Blue Mountains in September. A call for papers will go out in the middle of the year and the summit will include keynotes, workshops and biophilic experiences.
If this immersive experience is of interest, let us know here.
