Ecopsychology and Ecotherapy Resources

Ecology of Awakening: “Ecology of Awakening is designed to support a shift in consciousness: out of a sense of being a separate self, living on the Earth which is solely here as our resource, into a lived experience of being an inherent part of the 14 billion year unfolding that brought us forth.”

Animas Valley Institute: Animas Valley Institute, founded by Bill Plotkin in 1980 — offers multi-day immersions into the wilds of nature and psyche for the purpose of retrieving the unique, mysterious identity hidden in the soul-waters of each life. Animas originated and continues to evolve a contemporary Western, nature-based approach to the journey of soul initiation  to our knowledge, the first of its kind.

Earthways: Earthways is committed to restoring relationship with the natural world by bringing people out into direct connection with the profound guidance of the wild earth.  

Wilderness Reflections: Through direct, embodied, meaningful contact with wild nature, our rites of passage, education and training programs foster personal and professional transformation for teens, adults, professionals and organizations.”

School of Lost Borders: The School of Lost Borders offers vision fasts and rites of passage training which cultivate self-trust, responsibility, and understanding about ones' unique place within society and the natural world. Its programs provide guided opportunities, perspectives, teachings, and much needed self-reflection time in a non-judgmental yet challenging environment.
