The World is Burning: Finding Resilience through Ecotherapy and Nature-Based Mental Health
Our contemporary society is weathering a collective storm. Between the fragility of our institutions, deepening inequality, and the environmental "mess" left in the wake of an oil-based economy, the weight is immense. We’ve all read the news and doomscrolled ourselves into a state of paralysis.
Feeling overwhelmed? Depressed, anxious, or just profoundly tired? You aren't alone. In fact, it is only natural to feel disconnected from ourselves and the earth right now. There is suffering, but there is also a way through it. If you’ve stumbled upon this site, it may be that the part of you seeking healing is finally poking through the noise.
Science Over Slop
This blog exists to share legitimate, evidence-based knowledge. In an era of "AI slop" and digital exhaustion, we are devoid of trustworthy and down to earth information. In an era of social isolation we need to be met as we are. We will explore the intersection of mental health, mindfulness, and the natural world—because the two are inseparable. There is no healthy individual in an unhealthy environment.
What You Can Expect
We are building a community centered on actionable efforts to heal. Here, you will find clutter-free, evidence-based information on:
Ecopsychology & Ecotherapy: Understanding our holistic bond with the earth and how healing works both ways with us and the environment.
Nature-Based CBT: Practical skills to weather the storms of life.
Adventure Therapy: Why movement and "the wild" are essential for the soul.
Activism = Wellness: How to help yourself, your loved ones, and the "more-than-human" world.
Join the Circle
There is an end to this suffering. Getting there requires a "mountain to climb," but this isn't a "free solo" ascent where one slip means the end. This is a group expedition. We are climbing together, ensuring everyone makes it to the top and back down safely, with stories to share.
