Super special to be in Glasgow last Friday and meet former Haumea Ecoliteracy course participant cellist Jessica Kerr perform with a quartet to deepen & celebrate our connection to trees with the Stories of People and Trees Project, which was funded by Creative Scotland.
Congratulations Jessica and to all involved! So moving and inspiring to hear beautiful new work, hear from a number of #composers and tree storytellers which will be studio recorded later.
Delighted this project supported by the Scottish Arts Council – Creative Scotland as ecoliteracy so important for musicians too!
Hello! Kia Ora! Dia daoibh!
I’m Cathy Fitzgerald, an ecological artist, educator, and founder of Haumea Ecoversity. Originally from Aotearoa New Zealand, I’ve lived in rural Ireland, the home of my ancestors, for over 30 years. Together with my philosopher colleague Dr Nikos Patedakis (USA), we’ve guided over 400 creative professionals worldwide in transformative ecoliteracy training since 2019.
Haumea Ecoversity Community Membership is the next chapter of this work—a vibrant space for lifelong learning, collective wisdom, and creative transformation for a more beautiful, just, and life-sustaining world.
Dr Cathy Fitzgerald
“In these times of great challenge, I’m passionate about bringing ecoliteracy—including new ecological thinking, values, language, and head-heart-body practices—to creative, sustainability and cultural sectors. These areas have a crucial leadership role: they can inspire communities to embrace new values and actions for living well on Earth, together with all life.”
