Ecopsychology

Human health and wellbeing depend on that of the natural world. 
This is the central premise of ecopsychology, where psychology and ecology meet.
 
Paradigms of healing or consciousness that do not take Earth, place, and nature into account miss the very foundations of human life, situated and embedded as it is in the living intelligence of our homeworld. How to overcome the delusion that we are somehow separate from it all? How to regain the ability to interact thoughtfully with the plants and animals, elements and landscapes on every side? What does research say about the healing power of these interactions? How does my personal story, even my personal “myth,” align with where I live and where I came from? What quiet wisdom do the world’s traditional tales and myths convey about how to live with ourselves and each other on this amazingly animate planet?
