Connecting people to nature
What is Ecotherapy?
Modern western culture teaches us that we are separate and somehow superior to nature. It is simply a resource to be exploited. That it not only wrong - it is dangerous. It’s led to ecological destruction and climate change.
We are part of a complicated and interconnected web of life, so our mental and physical health cannot be separated from the health of the planet. We are part of nature and nature is part of us. We know this on a subconscious level, and this part of us is crying out to heal the rift created by thousands of years of western ‘civilization’.
Ecotherapy is about working with this to rebuild our emotional connection with the natural world. The first step towards healing is knowing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. But in addition to this, being in nature also has a relaxing, restoring and revitalising effect on us. When facilitated properly, this process can be incredibly powerful.

Mindful walks
Walking is one of the best ways to experience the therapeutic benefits of nature, because it’s something most of us are familiar and comfortable with. However, mindful walking is quite different to walking the dog.
