Become a Nature Therapy Guide

I'm super excited to announce that in September of this year I'll be teaching a 9 month program in Somatic Ecopsychotherapy to therapists at Metavision Institute.  This represents a huge milestone for me as it will weave together two healing paradigms that have profoundly transformed my life: somatic inquiry and ecotherapy.  To my knowledge, it will also be the only program of its kind anywhere in the world.  First equipping students with the tools of inner relationship focusing that they are then better resourced to benefit from the profound healing power of nature therapy practices.  

On this multi-stage  journey, participants will learn tools to embark on a voyage into their depths, and ways to cultivate a more holistic wholeness that encompasses the four dimensions of being: psyche (mind), soma (body), soul (a thing’s ecological niche and purpose in the web of life), and spirit (the divine, non-dual substance from which we are wrought).  

The program is iterative in nature, starting with a grounding in somatic inquiry tools that will, in turn, catalyse a richer experience of and deeper unfolding in the final ecotherapy module.  This offers participants a rich opportunity to explore the powerful synergy of somatic work and ecopsychotherapy, and the possibility of being in relationship with nature through embodied practise.   

Ultimately, the program seeks to offer its own medicine in these times of disconnection, dissociation, depression and despair, offering up the salve of wild wholeness in service of the more than human community and, in some small way, to the evolution of consciousness herself.
