PSY-3330B: Ecopsychology: Keeping the Wild in Mind

This two-day workshop introduces Ecopsychology at a critical moment when our relationship to the environment is a matter of survival. How do we meet the psychological repercussions of the climate crisis and global destruction in an increasingly technological world? What can be learned by investigating the worldviews of indigenous cultures? Can we foster interconnection and sustainability in our local and global communities? In what ways does the environment influence our internal and external landscapes, from policy and politics to our sacred myths and dreams? Topics will include man vs. nature, enchantment, and the healing effects of the sentient world. Students will explore a range of clinical approaches to ecotherapy, including transpersonal, narrative and terrapsychology. From forest bathing to bees, we will be using readings, videos, group discussions and exercises to explore our hearts, minds and spirits in the animate world.
