In 2010, Treesong started teaching courses through the Center for Spiritual Inquiry & Integral Education. His first course, Introduction to Environmental Ethics, examined several approaches to environmental ethics and how these approaches address contemporary environmental issues. We started with an introduction to Environmentalism, Social Ecology, Deep Ecology, Ecofeminism, and Natural Capitalism. Then, we examined how these approaches address the issues of natural resource management, peak oil, and climate change. Sponsored by the Center for Spiritual Inquiry & Integral Education at Gaia House Interfaith Center.

This course examines the ways in which your understanding of the environmental movement can create economic opportunities in your personal and professional life. We start with an introduction to “green” movements: Environmentalism, Social Ecology, Deep Ecology, and Ecofeminism. Then, we examine how you can apply the principles and practices of those movements in a way that benefits both the environment and your personal economic situation.
