What is Eco-Psychotherapy?
Eco =The relation of living things to their environments.
(e.g. Humans within the ecological system of nature)
+
Psychotherapy = The practice of being with another person
in a skilled way that is helpful or healing.
Offered from August through to May (weather permitting).
June/July more focused on “in room” restorative/spiritual and preparatory Eco-psychotherapies.
By casting out nature we become lost,
we lose our connection to ourselves.
Western Psychology largely ignores the profound importance of the human relationship to nature; however Eco-Psychotherapy creatively explores ways to foster the need to experience deep connection to oneself and others through connection to the natural world.
Recommended Eco-Psychotherapy Session Framework & Pricing
Offered August - May, weather permitting.
Eco-Psychotherapy is for people who are open to exploring their inner landscape as it relates to their outer landscape.
It is for people who feel a yearning for a sense of belonging and a deeper nature connection.
This offering is a 3 session package. Total Investment: $350.00.
Please book Session 1 below and we will schedule Sessions 2 and 3 when we meet.
It is generally recommended that sessions be two weeks apart to allow for reflection and integration.
Session 1 is a 1 hour exploration of why you have come and to further focus on establishing an understanding of what you hope to gain from your journey into Eco-Psychotherapy. We will collaboratively establish an agreed upon protocol for managing variables that don’t normally occur within the indoor setting, such as:
• What do we do if we happen upon someone we know whilst outdoors?
• What do we do if it rains, or if it’s too hot or too cold?
• How do we protect your privacy whilst in a public space?
Session 2 is a 2 hour session where the magick begins. We will attend to your personal concerns as we engage Mother Earth in all her wisdom, as your teacher and your nourishment. I will support you to experience deepened connection to self, earth, community and spirit through a multi-modal mix of therapies and ancient shamanic practices.
Session 3 is a 1 hour session where we integrate your experiences and explore your journey and together we create a plan ‘Where To From Here?’
There are two beautiful natural environments in very close proximity from the Plein Air Therapies location. Moonee Ponds Creek Parkland is a two-minute walk from the therapy room and Woodlands Historic Park in Greenvale is an 8 minute drive from the therapy room. Both of these places are a magnificent offering of natural Australian bushlands with plentiful flora and fauna to make your Eco-Psychotherapy both restorative and magickal.
“After our first session, I walked away feeling amazed at how the whole session went.”
