Rewilding Collective

Therapist Ecotherapy Group: Spring 2026

  • In The Rewilding Collective, we will explore our connection to self, nature, and community—both personally and in our roles as therapists. Through reflection and experiential practices, we will examine our own journeys of experience and connection, asking: How do we relate to the natural world, and where do we find both joy and complexity in that relationship? How do we engage with our communities and the wider world in a time of ecological and social unrest. Drawing from Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects, ecopsychology, and climate resiliency work, we will cultivate practices that support both our own well-being and our capacity to hold space for others. Together, we will explore how we are living within these three relationships—as therapists, as individuals, and through the many identities we hold.

    “Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”

    -Robin Wall Kimmerer
