Summary/Abstract: The article elaborates the position and the role of ecofeminism in the Republic of Croatia whereat ecofeminism is being analysed as holistic and layered context, circuit that is composed of different theoretical positions, forms of activism and different ways of life, oriented by specific life philosophies and spirituality forms. For the purpose of better and complex insight in ‘The Power and Promise’ of ecofeminism (Karen Warren), the author of the article has organized two focus groups which displayed that ecofeminism is not visible in the Croatian academic society as well as there is no existence of ecofeminist movement in the Republic of Croatia. It was also revealed that individuals with academic, activist and personal affinity for ecofeminist idea are trying to apply these ideas in daily life, which for some participants include spiritual practices close to ecofeminism as well. The ecofeminist dialogue have opened and set out a various issues concerning: an academic attitude toward critical theories and alternative knowledge; the position of feminism and its different variations that have been articulated on the activist scene; contemporary and future problems on the Croatian activist scene; issues regarding identity strategies; alternative religiosity and, ultimately, the future of ecofeminism itself within Croatia.
