Ecotherapy and Rites of Passage

“There's so much more to who you are than you know right now. You are, indeed, something mysterious and someone magnificent. You hold within you — secreted for safekeeping in your heart — a great gift for this world. Although you might sometimes feel like a cog in a huge machine, that you don't really matter in the great scheme of things, the truth is that you are fully eligible for a meaningful life, a mystical life, a life of the greatest fulfillment and service...”
― Bill Plotkin, Soulcraft: Crossing Into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche

Is your wild soul longing for a re-connection? Are you being called to explore the more than human world, the inner and outer wilderness? We invite you join us for a time of re-connection, exploration and celebration.

What is Ecopsychology?

Ecopsychology is an interdisciplinary field that recognizes the interrelation of the human psyche and the more than human world. Since the dawning of the industrial age there has grown an increasing disconnect between humans and their ecology, the result being a sense of isolation and disconnect between one's pysche and environment. This isolation is not natural. We find with this separation we've lost integral components of our own psyche and spirit. Ecopsychology is a practice of healing, or wholing this fragmentation and reclaiming one's birth rite as an indigenous being in the larger collective.
