ECOTHERAPY = HEALING WITH NATURE


Our culture has accelerated with the use of technology. Some of it is good and some of it is not. We humans evolved in nature but over the centuries with spending more time indoors and with electronics, our stress has increased and our human relations have changed and often even decreased. This is a main challenge for us: how to take advantage of these scientific advances while still being in deep relation with ourself, with others, and our emotions. We are now in a high tech, low touch society. A wonderful way to balance this is to be with nature.


There is a whole field of therapy and healing which is centered around this concept and experience. It is called ecotherapy. Moving from the ego to the eco, we can find equilibrium for the self and spirit.


Miriam Belov, MAT, RMT


ECOTHERAPY= HEALING WITH NATURE


As humans we have an innate but suppressed natural intelligence and conscious awareness. We need to allow this capacity to blossom again in us! Nature restores a person’s mental and spiritual energy and when perceived anew, the physical. We need Vitamin N, a nature rich life, now more than ever.


Besides living with two cats who really do meow and purr when held and stroked


in just the right way, I also live with birds. They are small parakeets and their voices are delightful. Of course, there are small machines that can make this noise also but I much prefer the real thing. Can you make a sound map of natural noises that you hear in your home? What about a sound map when you are outside walking?


The 20th century historian, Theodore Roszak who had a PhD from Princeton University, introduced the idea of ecopsychology to illustrate the connection between ecological health and mental health in his book, The Voice of the Earth in 1992. Ecotherapy, nature or green therapy, is the connection with the earth and its systems. We humans are part of this web of life.


I participated in the first Earth Day in 1970 and since then we have seen the field and the concern for ecotherapy and ecology bloom. There are all sorts of wilderness experiences and therapy in the wild, environmental education courses, design, sustainability, the COP21 UN Accord signed last spring to combat the rising climate crisis which now affects the earth and all of us, every sentient being, the oceans, the glaciers, the sky.
