As we step into 2025 we are aware of the multiple crises, sometimes called the polycrises we face. A human mental health crisis, wars, climate change, bio diversity emergence. We know one key for many of us to meet the intense challenges ahead and to support the rest of the living world to support us is through a return to a deepening connectedness to nature, to our own nature and the rest of nature around us. Our trainings have worked with many hundreds of people, helping them to help others enliven our nature connectedness, to once again become what we call our Natural Self, our innate humanity that is woven from nature and to the rest of nature. Ecopsychology is the study of this. We have had a lot of demand for these courses and so have now expanded our courses at our new Ham Green Outdoor Centre near Bristol. We know people are searching for new nature based ways to offer health programmes, to find new ways to expand what therapy offers in Ecotherapy and to once again participate more fully in the unfolding intelligence that weaves all of nature together in our Eco Depth work and thus find new ways to vision a future that support our self, our communities and the greater Earth community around us. For 16 years we have been busy studying the evidence, researching, practicing, testing and diving into the ideas and theories. We have seen what can be applied in the modern world, a step forward into a new future rather than trying to go back. From this journey we have developed our three Models of Practice, comprehensive models that offer theory, practice, skills, frameworks, formulations and capacity for reflective practice. These are NatureWell, Natural Self Eco Therapy and Deeper Expansive Nature. Together they offer ways to guide and support people through the three realms of practice that are needed to bring us back home to the our nature. The prospectus linked here gives the details.
