Mindfulness ecotherapy, or eco-psychology, is the connection of mindfulness and nature. Nature is utilized to create states of mindfulness that lead to insight, understanding, acceptance, and compassion, naturally. We will pull knowledge and skills from Charlton Hall, MMFT, LMTS, Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy: A 12 Session Program for Reconnecting with Nature.
With a boon in technology, our brains and bodies have come under great stress due to constant neurological stimulation. Our brains and bodies have spent more time in nature over thousands of years than in houses or cities with cell phones, TVs, computers, and fluorescent lighting. Because of this, we are wired to experience nature at a deep level.
This workshop will assist counselors beginning and advanced to experience for the day, mindfulness through nature. We’ll begin with a couple of theories about eco-psychology and then move straight into mindfulness exercises to prepare us to step outdoors into the world of nature. This workshop will require some medium level hiking, a silent walk, journaling, and quiet reflection time. This is a skills-based workshop that will focus on both mental health and addiction recovery. Be prepared to experience what you will structure and share with your clients as you step out of the confines of your office space or group room to become mindful of Self and Nature.
OBJECTIVES:
We look forward to seeing you there!
