Nature as Teacher, Healer and Mirror
The natural world is home to a myriad teachers and healers. Ecotherapy (which could also just as well be called nature worhship) can help you attune to and commune with these teachers and healers. By learning to be still, to listen, to be mindful, to open and receive, to give, to be ourselves, express ourselves and more, nature reveals both our blocks and potentials, and teaches us how to heal, grow, adapt and transform in ways that benefit all.

forest-bathing
