Abstract
Abstract As a Chinese Canadian environmental educator and musician, I explore how the concepts of the heart-mind and holistic listening from guqin music could be applied to environmental education (EE) as a non-western perspective on the ecological crisis and the problematic separation between humans and nature. The early Chinese concept of the heart-mind (psyche) is exhibited in guqin culture. A cultivated and enhanced heart-mind is free from individual self-interest and competition– mindset of the capitalist system that has produced massive destruction of our planet. Holistic listening to nature engages the heart-mind and whole body, highlighting human connections with nature within a correlative cosmology. Holistic listening and the heart-mind can be used in EE as an environmental ethic that promotes simplicity, holistic learning, and harmony with nature as the good life, engaging learners’ cultural and environmental consciousness and ability to connect to the environment ethically and spiritually.
期刊介绍：
Any educator in the environmental field will find The Journal of Environmental Education indispensable. Based on recent research in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, the journal details how best to present environmental issues and how to evaluate programs already in place for primary through university level and adult students. University researchers, park and recreation administrators, and teachers from the United States and abroad provide new analyses of the instruction, theory, methods, and practices of environmental communication and education in peer-reviewed articles. Reviews of the most recent books, textbooks, videos, and other educational materials by experts in the field appear regularly.
