Name: Ecopsychology, Place, and Self Workshop
Start: 2025-10-11T09:00:00-04:00
Location: Gateway Farm

Our sense of place in this world, and our eco-psychological relationships with everything - forests, rivers, gardens, towns, more-than-human beings, even highways – are our most fundamental needs. These deepest relationships are bound with identity, belonging, and purpose in the world. And yet people doubt there’s such a thing as ‘ecopsychology’.
There certainly is, though it’s not always easy. Many people in the world feel displaced or have had their relationship to the places they grew up in, or to nature in general, disrupted. We have so many relationships with the world around us. What are they? What do our childhood experiences have to do with these? How can we make our world come truly alive again in our minds and hearts? How do we deal with all the ecological damages?
This powerful workshop helps us illuminate, explore and re-enchant our relationships with our felt living world. Supporting, challenging and empowering you, this workshop provides tools and skills (including place making exercises), ideas and language and step-by-step plans for change. All of this is located within a body of literature and supported by an essential design tool. Participants will emerge from this workshop with an understanding of ecopsychology and their vital sense of place in this changing world.
