Contact with nature and wildlife helps us to find the connection with the deepest parts, often forgotten, of our being. Contact with our most authentic core, allows us to recover a sense of partnership with the whole Creation. In this peculiar moment of our human history, we need to blossom and to awake the ability to act concretely: it is fundamental to recover the sense of belonging and partnership with our world.
Ecopsychology is a promoter of self-fulfillment at the service of life, it wants us to discover and use our personal, individual and collective power.
Practices of exploration of ourselves and of the world to reconnect to our deepest roots, to rise up towards the highest peaks.
The seminar will offer an introduction to the theoretical elements of Ecopsychology and some basic practices of Ecotuning, the art of Applied Ecopsychology.
The Ecotuning practices are suitable to be adapted to different fields, integrating the knowledge and skills either in health, educational and environmental professions or to enrich and develop our own personal life.
