The importance of beauty and of art for ecologically-minded people is underrated, or at least seldom discussed. “Aesthetics,” while remaining as a subject matter of philosophy, is underdeveloped. Alfred North Whitehead made the interesting comment that “the teleology of the universe is beauty.” What if for a weekend you could consider—be immersed in—Art, Beauty, Ecology?
