Our Environment

As our modern culture continues to develop an ever increasing disconnection from the natural world, our planet becomes more and more depleted of it's natural resources. Eco-therapy is a relatively new science, based on the emerging field of eco-psychology, which helps us to see our personal wants and needs in proportion the the needs of nature and the rest of the planet. The idea is to break down and heal the disconnection between ourselves and nature, and establish a reconnection with the natural ecosystems which we depend on for life.

The first step in Eco-therapy is to immerse ourselves in the very nature we are being taught to respect. This complete immersion reminds us that we are only just a very small part of the world around us, and that our existence is fragile. Over time, this approach allows us to become closer to nature, and help us to understand our guilt and depression about not doing more to help the ecosystem. And because eco-therapy focuses on providing benefits to the individual, all contact with nature becomes refreshing and re-energizing. The best part of Eco-therapy is that it leads to a feeling of dependency between a healthy individual and a healthy environment.
