El Arte Orgánico es una propuesta "co-creadora" de rituales que tienen el propósito de favorecer la "re-conexión con la naturaleza" y de recordar la verdadera "naturaleza humana" que es "una" con todos los seres vivos.
Esta propuesta, aplica principios y conceptos de la Ecopsicología e integra el conocimiento de los ecosistemas y las relaciones viables -eco- con el conocimiento de...
The multiple forms of applied ecopsychology allow us to connect with the rest of nature according to our own preferences. Most of these practices focus primarily on sensory experience, mindful presence, and on building an emotional bond with the more-than-human nature. In addition to all these, I think that there is an equal need for biological knowledge, in the...
Ecotuning is a practice of applied ecopsychology. Ecotuners facilitate within people their re-connection with Life and the natural world or Earth. In these times of global warming and social injustice, this is necessary now more than ever.
Ecopsychology studies the relationship between humans and Nature. It states that humanity is disconnected from the natural world, resulting in climate change and...

I love this title, it's not mine, it belongs to a book on Experiential Education that I've read a lot of times , and I like it because it perfectly explains the misunderstanding we have regarding managing emotions, where we want to control them , hide them, appease them, deny them or avoid them, everything except proper management...
How can ecopsychology be used in the world of environmental activism? Here is a proposal made by the Italian Ecotuner Stefania Balzarotti, in support of a local committee for the defense of 240 trees absurdly destined for felling.
There are encounters in nature in which new thoughts are born and where synchronic events confirm the right direction to "act" upon...
We are facing a deep social and planetary crisis where nothing is more urgent and relegated than taking care of ourselves. The need is felt by a growing number of people, but it is still considered a luxury that can be postponed. We run to fulfill the mandate to be productive beings, and thus to be part of the...
In the vibrant folds of the natural world, a sensitive and passionate gaze reveals a recurring form: everything in nature is a womb. The roots of the trees intertwine in an underground dance, the caves are sculpted like stone wombs, the waves of the grandmother sea break with the force of a cosmic birth, and the puddles in the...
