CLASS FORMATTED FOR ‘SOCIAL DISTANCING’ PROTOCOLS

12-4pm PDT (3-7 EDT = 7-11am NZT = 8-12pm BST)

If there were ever a time that we needed deep Nature connection, this is it!

Are You Ready…?
• For more time outdoors?

• To bring the healing powers of Nature into your work and daily life?

• To find new resources to face the ongoing pandemic and the eco-anxiety of living in these times?

• To more often feel that wonderful sense of ease and connection with all of life?

Come Join Us To….
• Experience yourself and body more deeply as a part of Nature

• Learn how this elemental connection has everything to do with your well-being

• Learn tools for helping yourself and others connect with Nature and orient to life in healthy, supportive and energizing ways

• Witness a live demonstration of Wilderness Reflections’ unique mindful, body-oriented approach to ecotherapy.  

Open to healing arts professionals as well as the general public, this fun, experiential day will introduce participants to some basic principles and practices of the field of Ecotherapy. We’ll blend discussion of the bases of ecotherapy  with experiential activities, quiet reflection and a chance to consider how to integrate the day’s learning into one’s work or life. The program includes a demonstration of our powerful ecotherapy approach and a brief overview of our Professional Ecotherapy Certification Program.

The erroneous notion of modern society that we humans are somehow separate from or not a part of Nature causes much of our distress and dis-ease. Logically, we can understand this– what or where else could we be? Yet this alienation is so commonplace in western culture that we often don’t even notice it. And even as we are awakening to the gravity of this situation for the larger biosphere, we are still just learning how best to respond.

Through an array of theories and practices of Ecopsychology and it’s applied form, known as Ecotherapy, seek to redress this fundamental alienation and restore the wellness that comes when we live with a felt sense of connection to Nature all around and within us. As healers and helpers, there is much we can do to ally ourselves and our efforts with the healing forces of Nature. Join us to be inspired and learn more.

ADAPTED FORMAT

While we would much prefer to meet outdoors together, as is our customary practice, with a little creativity, we can still get most of the benefits of this class in this different format. We’ll meet online (Zoom meeting). If possible, we encourage students to call in from somewhere outdoors, even their own garden/yard/neighborhood park.
