IES 2026 Activities

IES Plan 2026: A year of weaving and strengthening our mycelium

A joyful year of connecting and nurturing our mycelium! Our IES 2025 plan keeps growing roots like a wonderful mycelium network, and this year, we’re thrilled to focus on weaving and strengthening these vibrant connections. You can look forward to some exciting new activities, alongside some that are wrapping up. We’re also dedicated to supporting the crucial role of Ecotuner as champions of Applied Ecopsychology, helping to build a warm, welcoming, and connected community.

In 2026, IES is excited to bring our global community even closer through lively, engaging, and inspiring gatherings and activities. These will promote shared learning, collective healing, and the growth of ecopsychology as a transformative, collaborative approach to our world’s challenges. Our hope is to create a friendly, open space where everyone feels encouraged to contribute, learn, and grow together.
