ECOSPIRITUALITY: AN INTRODUCTION COURSE DESCRIPTION

“At times I feel like I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the splashing of the waves, into the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons.”

-C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

There is something spiritual and transcendent about spending time in nature. In recent years mental health professionals have come to recognize the healing power of nature and to utilize it to help their patients and their families recover from a host of problems.
While ecotherapy uses the power of nature to heal the body and the mind, ecospirituality uses nature to heal the spirit, helping practitioners to connect with themselves and others, with nature, and with something larger than themselves.

Ecospirituality can be used in this manner to experience the transcendent.

In this introductory course we will cover what spirituality is, what Ecospirituality is, how ecospirituality can help people to increase their resilience, and finally some common types of ecospiritual interventions.

ECOSPIRITUALITY: AN INTRODUCTION Course Objectives

• Define spirituality
