In developing my approach to eco-therapy, I have incorporated concepts from environmental philosophy, cosmology, and the contributions of indigenous cultures.
I continue to develop nature practices that emphasize the mutuality between humans and the more-than-human world.
I have been trained as a wilderness guide and offer wilderness therapy in the form of threshold walks, overnight solos, and vision quests.
I believe there is no end to the extent to which we can develop our sensory awareness in ways that benefit us and all beings around us. This work can be done in urban parks as well as natural settings such as mountain,desert, and coastal areas.
The larger discipline of ecopsychology addresses the interaction between the psychological well-being of humans and the environment at large. Ecopsychology as an academic discipline looks at the overall aspects of how we treat the environment and how it affects us. Issues such as global warming, population trends, and the use of natural resources are discussed in the larger context of the directions of the planet and the human race.
Ecotherapy, as a branch of ecopsychology, is a practical discipline which endeavors to apply the concepts of ecopsychology in people’s lives.
