ECotherapy

Ecotherapy is a nature-based approach to mental health. It is the practice of nurturing a deep connection to your self and Earth. It includes applied, nature-connection exercises to draw on nature as a source for healing.

Issues

• climate distress

• eco-grief (related to ecological destruction)

• disconnection from self, community, and nature

• disempowerment - feeling helpless and hopeless

• loss of optimism

• spiritual - loss of connection to Nature/Universe

Sessions

I offer a number of Ecotherapy groups during the warmer months of the year in Brooklyn and New York, NY. These groups of 5-10 participants take place outside in a park. Sessions include a guided nature-connection meditation, nature dialogue in a quiet spot of your own, and time to share and process your experience with the group. To find out about events ahead of time, sign up for my newsletter below.
