Sight and Insight: A Deep Nature Retreat | July 9-14, 2023
We will explore “seeing” with all senses as a means of forming an intimate relationship with nature. There will be some art and simple writing practices to support our seeing and connection that is inspired by ancient Chinese landscape poetry. Part of the retreat will involve solo time on the land and a practice of mindful silence. In a morning dreamwork practice we will track the ways in which the natural world speaks to our psyche.
Ecotherapy Training Intensive | May 12 - 16, 2024
The program will cover principles of ecopsychology and the unique way that we may embrace the world from the ecological perspective. We will explore techniques and various processes of holding a clinical container outdoors, facilitating a deeper connection with and reciprocity to the natural world, and employing a nature-based approach in working with trauma and the nervous system. We will consider cultural, clinical and ethical considerations of ecotherapy. We will address the growing collective anxiety of climate change or “eco-anxiety” and ways to work with this.
