Eco-Psychology is the study of the human connection to nature. More specifically how NOT thinking in line with nature is the root of most of our society’s runaway disorders, unhappiness and feelings of lack of fulfillment.

This introduction to eco-psych (also known as Deep Ecology) will be closely based on Dr. Cohen’s award winning Natural Thinking Process Systems work.  Dr. Cohen’s eco-psychology work was established in the 50s and has since been the focus of many supportive scientific studies.

This 8 hour workshop is perfect for anyone who LOVES being outside in nature and wants to understand another way of thinking that is more in line with nature.



We will begin to discuss:
·How it’s possible to be in nature and still NOT think naturally.
·How we’ve been TRAINED to think of nature as a RESOURCE and not a source and why that’s not healthy or sustainable.
·Why we are no longer in relationship with nature.

We will learn some simple techniques to:

·Reestablish a more BALANCED natural way of thinking.
·Deal with STRESS.
·Feel more alive & SENSUOUS.
·Discover how to become aware of more than 5 senses, we were born with over 53 ways to sense.


This is not a theory course, we will be doing hands-on experimental work in the form of nature connect activities. Come prepared to be outside, so bring appropriate attire. You will also need a pen, paper/journal and water. Come willing to learn a new way of thinking and have some interesting conversations with like mind people.
